On Jan. 9, MP Corneliu Chisu announced $91,000 in funding for the Youth Education, Arts and Health Foundation (YEAH), which helps youth facing employment barriers by providing workshops that focus on life skills such as communication and decision mak- ing and connecting youth with local work placements. “Our goal is to support young people in making good life deci- sions and achieving success,” said Pauline Bennett, president of YEAH.

At the competition for students ages nine to 14, five teams from Durham Region faced off against 35 teams from Niagara to Ottawa. Dur- ham teams included the St. Ber- nadette Wagon Wheels from Ajax, Westcreek Einsteins and Seton Cyber Flyers from Pickering, and Waldo Juniors and Technologix from Whitby (winners of the Judg- es’ Award). The local techno-war- riors advanced to the competition after placing first through fifth at a regional qualifying tournament, one of 16 held across the province. “We were really shocked to win and hear our names called,” said 13-year-old Chayanne Williams from Pickering’s Westcreek Ein- steins, who competed for the first time this season, placing third at the regional qualifier. “I can’t believe how many people are here,” she added while looking around the provincial champion- ships. “It’s a great experience.” Teams were charged with strat- egizing, designing, building, pro- gramming and testing robots using Lego Mindstorms technology. Robots competed against each other in various challenges at the event, performing a series of mis- sions within a two-and-a-half min- ute time limit. Embracing this year’s challenge theme, seniors’ solutions, teams were also tasked with creating inno- vative solutions for challenges faced by seniors. “We made a product called the seniors care application,” explained 12-year-old Caitlin Abe Gokool of the Westcreek Einsteins. “It’s a piece of technology that helps seniors do multiple things in life ... For example, if you forget to take your medication it will alert you, and it can help you plan your diet for the week, and it can help let you know when to start cooking and when to take it out, and they can play little games on it that keeps their brains working and keeps them function- ing.” For two-and-a-half months, the team spent four hours a week put- ting together its two robots and seniors’ solution project. First Lego League Ontario cel- ebrated its 10th anniversary at the provincial championships with a cake-cutting during the opening ceremony of the event, which was energy-filled, featuring speakers from the non-profit organization, as well as UOIT president Tim McTi- ernan and Oshawa Mayor John Henry. “You kids are the best of the best in Ontario and you are all winners for making it here today,” FLL Ontario Director Dave Ellis told competi- tors. Mayor Henry said he was hon- oured to attend the event. “These are the people who are going to change and revolutionize Canada,” he added. After the ceremony, kids took off running to start the competition, which was hosted by UOIT for the fourth consecutive year. While trophies stood on display, waiting to be won, teams competed in practice matches before the final showdowns. Some made adjust- ments to their robots, while others wowed competitors, eliciting oohs and ahs from onlookers. Each team watched their robots intently and anxiously as they performed, hop- ing for the best. “Sometimes robots have minds of their own, they’re kind of unpre- dictable when it comes to some things,” Chayanne said. “If it works, that’s great, if it doesn’t, that’s great too, because just being here is fan- tastic.” For more information on First Lego League and its work to inspire future generations of scientists and engineers, visit www.first- legoleague.org.

On Jan. 12 Mayor Dave Ryan and city offi- cials presented members of the club with the Key to the City for their accomplish- ment in setting a new Guinness World Record for distance travelled in a 24-hour span. On Aug. 25, 2012 the club took to the waters of Frenchman’s Bay to reclaim the title, which they had set previously in July 2004, with two teams taking the title since. The Pickering club paddled 214.9 kilome- tres over the next 24 hours, beating the pre- vious record by nearly 40 kilometres. “As the City’s highest honour, the Key to the City symbolizes the freedom of the recipients to enter and leave the city at will as they have earned the unequivocal trust and respect of the residents,” said Mayor Ryan during the presentation ceremony at the Pickering Recreation Complex. “I am pleased that in addition to striving for international success, the club is also committed to helping make our commu- nity healthier and stronger.” In 2012, the Dragon Boat Club also com- peted in the world championships in Hong Kong and came away with the second- highest medal count, including five gold, one silver, and four bronze. It is the only club in the world to have earned a medal in every single age category in the tourna- ment’s history. For more information on the club visit www.pdbc.ca.

Our com- munity benefits when youth are engaged in programming such as life skills, employment and mentorship.” The funding is part of the federal govern- ment’s larger Youth Employment Strategy, which provides about $300 million in funding annually through programs including Skills Link, Career Focus and Canada Summer Jobs, all aimed at helping youth break into the workforce. “Many young people looking for work get used to the hard tune ‘no experience, no job, no job, no experience.’” Mr. Chisu explained. “We need to break this cycle and help youth acquire life skills and ease their transition into the work force.” Whitby’s Michael Barry, 20, finished high school last year and will be entering YEAH’s Reaching Objectives Collaboratively pro- gram, where he will spend four weeks learn- ing life skills such as financial independence and resume writing before embarking on a six-week work placement. “I’ve found temporary work, but it was stuff that was just OK, nothing like a career, more just making money for now,” Mr. Barry said. “I hope this will help me learn how the real world works, how to be more of a corporate person and communicate with business types and be a good hire.” Statistics from the Durham Workforce Authority show youth unemployment in Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington rose as high as 25 per cent over September, October and November of 2012, putting it above the 23-per cent average in March 2010, at the height of the last recession. Statistics for the GTA area, which include Ajax and Pickering, were as high as 20 per cent for the same time period. “In Ontario, youth unemployment is typi- cally about 2.5 times the general unemploy- ment rate,” said Paige Marlow, a researcher with the DWA. “In Durham it’s normally three times the general rate, and in November 2012 it was 4.5 times higher. That’s higher than what we’re normally seeing across the province. At the YMCA Employment Resource Cen- tre, counsellors assisted 1,528 students dur- ing the 2012 Summer Jobs Service program. Samantha Teney, general manager for Dur- ham Employment and Community YMCA of Greater Toronto, says many youth are finding it hard to secure employment due to the flood of highly skilled workers looking for jobs. “Because there are higher skilled individu- als out there looking for employment, such as people who have been laid off from long-term positions, they are filling a lot of entry-level positions that would normally go to youth,” Ms. Teney explained. “I think generally speak- ing there are just more people looking for jobs. According to a TD Economics study from March 2012, young workers were hit especial- ly hard by the recession, with more than half of the 430,000 jobs lost concentrated among those under 25, despite the fact those workers made up only 16.5 per cent of the total labour force. Recovery for the demographic has also been exceptionally harsh, with only 1,300 jobs added over the last two and a half years, com- pared to current employment for those over 25 sitting at 400,000 jobs above recession lev- els. Some of the $91,00 going to YEAH will be used to fund wage subsidies for employers hiring youth workers, a method that is also used by the YMCA. “I think employers are def- initely encouraged by wage subsidies, espe- cially if they’re not sure about hiring someone who maybe doesn’t have a lot of experience, because then they have help funding their training,” Ms. Teney explained. She recommends youth looking for work take advantage of all the resources available to them in the community, such as government- funded employment programs like those at YEAH and the YMCA. “If people connect with employment agencies in the area, they’ll find there are employers looking for people,” she said. “People should seek out all help avail- able to them.” YOUTH from page 1 Youth unemployment growing in Durham 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 5 AP ∞ ∞ ≠ Δ BEST INDIANRESTAURANT 16 Y E A R S IN A R O W !

Drunk driving charge for trucker after Ajax collision AJAX -- Drunk driving charges have been laid against a truck driver after police investigated a fail-to-remain collision Monday in Ajax. No one was injured during the incident, which began short- ly after 8 a.m. when OPP received calls about a tractor trailer being driven erratically in the westbound lanes of Hwy. 401. The truck struck a Hyundai as it approached Salem Road and the driver continued westbound, police said. Several OPP cruisers converged on the scene and officers managed to stop the rig near Westney Road. Charles Richard of Moncton, New Brunswick is charged with impaired driving, failing to provide a breath sample, danger- ous driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. Man cut, roughed up in Ajax scuffle AJAX -- A victim sustained cuts and other injuries during a struggle in Ajax Wednesday night, police said. The victim, a 20-year-old Oshawa man, was treated at hospital and released following the incident, in the vicinity of Westney Road South and Hwy. 401 at about 10:35 p.m. He told Durham police he was walking through a field near Roland Michener Public School when he was accosted by a knife- wielding suspect who forced him into a nearby backyard and demanded his money. The victim sustained multiple injuries including knife cuts during a subsequent scuffle, police said. A homeowner called police after the victim pleaded for help. Police are still trying to determine the nature of the dispute and the identity of the second man. He’s described as a light-skinned black man in his 20s, about five feet 11 and 200 pounds. Impaired charges for Pickering man PORT HOPE -- A Pickering man is facing a number of charg- es after police found a car in the ditch near Hwy. 401 in Port Hope. According to the Northumberland County OPP, on Jan. 4 at 11:58 p.m., officers responded to East Townline Road just north of Marydale Park Road, south of Hwy. 401 in Port Hope, to find a vehicle in the west ditch and the driver still in the driv- er’s seat. The driver was the only person in the car and was not injured, police said. Police also found and seized 116.3 grams of marijuana, worth an estimated street value of $2,300, under the driver’s seat of the car. James Anthony Robertson, 35, of Pickering, is charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, blood alcohol exceeding 80 milligrams and possession of marijuana over 30 grams. police briefs AJAX -- Durham Police are asking the pub- lic to help track down three suspects after a street robbery in Ajax. On Jan. 10 at 4 p.m. a male and female, both 16, were walking on Burcher Road, near Har- wood Avenue and Bayly Street East, when they were approached by three male teen- agers. The suspects taunted the male, result- ing in him calling 911, while the girl ran to a nearby home for safety, police said. The male victim was pushed to the ground and his cellphone stolen. The three teenagers also attempted to steal his tablet computer before running eastbound on Admiral Road. No one was hurt during the incident. The three male suspects are described as black, 5’6” to 5’8” tall and all were wearing dark-coloured coats with hoods. One suspect was wearing shorts with a white stripe. Any- one with information can contact Det. McK- innon of West Division at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2565.

The health effects and life-shortening conse- quence of tobacco addiction aren’t one of them. And now that the new year is well under- way -- without the accompanying social imperative to make resolutions that few people actually keep -- it’s time to turn your thoughts to quitting. There are plenty of resources, and exper- tise, available to Durham Region residents through the Region’s health department. Ongoing programs are in place to assist those who have made the life-affirming decision to quit tobacco. As well, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is providing its Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients (STOP) program in Whitby at month’s end to encourage cessation. That program will see eligible partici- pants provided with five weeks of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to help smok- ers deal with the inevitable and frustrating cravings that accompany nicotine with- drawal and nudge them towards a smoke- free future. Participants in the STOP program will also be provided related education mate- rials to encourage broader lifestyle chang- es to promote better long-term health. The fact is that smoking is harmful. It injures those who smoke and those who are in their vicinity when they light up. Some sobering facts: some 37,000 Canadians die from tobacco abuse every year. Several thousand more exposed to second-hand smoke will also die. Former smokers, those who have quit their habit -- after the first try or the tenth -- will tell you that few things in their lives were harder to achieve, and that few things were more personally rewarding. The exis- tence of local programs and the availabil- ity of supportive family and friends is vital to success, but the most important thing one must possess is motivation. In the simplest terms, you have to want to quit. Programs are in place. Therapies are available. Health officials continue to work towards smoke-free communities. And the odds have never been greater in helping Durham residents to finally give up on their harmful habit, for good. It’s true that medical research has unequivocally proven the toxic effects of smoking on human health. One other vital discovery found in the weight of that research is this: It’s never too late to quit. Questions surround disappearance of Gerry Ouellette The best piece of news I read all weekend on durhamregion. com was that 18-year-old Gerry Ouellette had been found safe and sound in Toronto. Mr. Ouellette, who has the mental capac- ity of a young child, went missing Tuesday, Jan. 8 when he walked out of an Oshawa group home and vanished. The teen had recent- ly moved to the Oshawa area from a facility in Port Perry and within hours of his disappearance, police were searching the area around the group home. Throughout the search we kept in close contact with police for updates. We sent a reporter to the area a few times and took photos of members of the Ontario Volunteer Emergency Response Team as they searched the Harmony Valley Conservation Area. On Saturday the news came out he had been found the night before and as we expected, no one now wants to discuss the incident. There are so many questions that need answers and members of the pub- lic who have been following this search deserve them. How did Gerry just walk away? How does someone with the mind of a child make it to Toronto? What precautions have been put in place to make sure this doesn’t happen again? How were police notified and why wasn’t it done earlier? What does his family think? We have started making calls to get those answers but so far, the wagons have been circled. Before Gerry was found we were told he was in the care of the Children’s Aid Society and police were in touch with his caregivers. Now, police won’t give any more details and so far the home he walked away from isn’t talking. At minimum, police should let the public know how he was located and how he made it to Toronto. There is too much secrecy surrounding this incident. We all have a right to know how this happened. I’m sure this happens a lot more than we know. Gerry went missing at 6:30 p.m. and police weren’t called until 11:30 p.m. How many times has someone gone missing and been found within a few hours? We will keep making phone calls and asking questions until we get an answer. It likely is going to take a Freedom of Informa- tion request to get the full story, something we have no problem doing. Or, those responsible for Gerry’s care can do the right thing and tell us all how a young man walked out of a group home on a Tuesday and wasn’t found until four days later. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston had been hoping for a quiet start to 2013.

All content copyright Opinions I like to think the universe is talking to us all the time. Point- ing things out, nudging us toward knowledge, dropping cosmic sticky notes reminding us that things really will be OK. If we miss these messages or we think we’re all alone, the prob- lem is usually not with the sender, it’s with the receiver. Sometimes we just don’t look and listen enough. My partner Kathryn and I had to spend some time in the hospital emergency ward last weekend. Noth- ing life threatening, more like a tire rotation and oil change. But while we were there, we got a soulful of perspective. The place was lousy with sticky notes.At one point in the evening a little boy of about six or seven and his mom were led into the cubicle next to us. The kid had obviously experienced some kind of trauma to his mouth as he had a large, bloodstained bandage over that part of his face. He was walking in on his own steam though and actually seemed to be fairly calm. Still, my heart broke just look- ing at him. I know it’s part and par- cel of growing up, and children are built to take a lot of bumps and bruises, but it always eats me up to see a kid feeling anything less than ridiculously happy. It was pretty quiet over there behind the curtain until the doctor arrived. He came in with a couple of nurses and I knew then that things would likely get hairy. This poor little guy was obviously hurt badly enough that he was going to need some stitches. He didn’t know that yet, but I was fairly certain he was headed for a steep learning curve. Life 101 can be a rough curriculum when you’re six or seven. What followed was one of those slic- es of life that leave an indelible mark on you. Kathryn and I listened, eyes welling up and heads in our hands, as the drama unfolded beside us. We couldn’t see any- thing of course, but sometimes you don’t need to. Sometimes the radio play is more than enough. Act One involved the good doctor trying to freeze the affected area so that he could then get the stitches in. Kids and needles, as you may remember, are sworn enemies. And you can tell a kid that a needle is good for him or that it’s full of freezing or that it will only sting for a bit until you’re blue in the face and the kid will never buy it. Kids know. Sharp things hurt. The bottom line in this saga was that the poor little guy was about out of his mind with fear and anxi- ety. The noise level was off the charts. And the doc- tor had the unenviable task of trying to neat- ly stitch a wound while the patient was thrashing about like a freshly landed salmon. How I admired this man’s patience, skill and courage. And believe me it was no cakewalk. More than once, I saw him walk away from the bed to gather himself and regroup. Sud- denly, I found myself drowning in perspective as I recalled times when I had been nervous or anx- ious about performing in front of people, worried about things going well or not. Worried about getting a laugh. And here was this man, holding the future of a child’s face and speech in his hands with an audience of no less than the kid’s mother. And this was only one night of many like this for him. Perspective indeed. Thank you, doctor. And thank you, uni- verse.

We can’t control the weather, but folks seem to have strong issues about it no matter what is happening. It is too cold, it is too hot, there is no snow for Christmas, there is too much snow, too much rain, too much sun, not enough snow for this time of year, not enough rain for this time of year. You get the idea. In general, I get the impression that few people like the weather. It is not a matter of liking or disliking it. The weather is what it is. Embrace it. Find a way to enjoy it. I can understand having a preference for a particular sort of day, but to rant about how hot, cold, damp or dry it is, is a negative conversation that I wish folks would just abandon. -- Michaela Helliwell On selfish motorists: Why do a lot of drivers think they own the roads and as a result slow down the rest of us that obey the laws and drive with consideration for others? I find it particularly frustrating when drivers go flying around other drivers when a lane is ending just so that they can get in front of a few cars. When the lane ends and they cut in front of everyone and slow everyone down and cause accidents. This is frustrating and inconsiderate. --Steve Sherwood 10. 1965 Pontiac GTO 9. 1971 Buick ‘GSX’ Stage 1 8. 1969 Ford Mustang ‘Boss 429’ 7. 1970 Plymouth Hemi-Cuda 6. 1969 Z28 Camaro 5. 1966 Shelby Cobra 427S/C 4. 1968 L88 Corvette 3. 1970 454 Chevelle SS 2. 1969 427 COPO Chevelle 1. 1969 ZL1 Camaro www.toptenz.net This Week’s Question: The NHL is back this week!

Facebook discussions in the past week were dominated by the call for a one-day ‘political protest’ by elementary school teachers that ended when the Ontario Labour Relations Board ruled it would be an illegal strike... Maryanne Deschamps: I am glad to see that some parents did not send their kids to school today i think more parents need to stand behind there kids teachers. Cindy Cummins Meghu: It’s ok though...they apologized for any inconvenience....pfft Natalie Albrecht: What do people do on a snow day? Who do they get ticked off at then? Teachers didn’t make the decision in the wee hours this morning. Unions did. And as frustrating as it is, they chose to stay on the side of the law. Kudos to them. Mathew Depew De Signs: Where can we invoice the teachers for our bills for the day?? Strange how the teachers dont want to inconve- nience the parents or the kids, but they are doing exactly that. The parents and kids are now pawns in their little games......strange as well all this is done to inconvenience us, never done as they sit on their docks because they can afford cottages during their 3 some odd months off during the summer....hmmm makes you wonder. Derrick Webber: The unions should be dealing with this in the court of law where it belongs if it is truly about their right to bargain. They many months to come to an agreement like the other teachers unions did, but they decided to be greedy over money. And yes this is all over money even they will say it is not. It is always about the money. They knew this strike (and it is a strike not a “day of protest”) was an ille- gal action.They took it down to the last min in order to create this chaos. This was done on pur- pose thinking they were sending a message. Well message received. But not the one you were hop- ing for. Carole Aucoin: The labour board ruled that the today`s day of pro- test would have been illegal. Would it have been better if your child’s teacher broke the law and went ahead with their planned day of protest? Is that the lesson that you want your children to learn? That their teachers are a bunch of crimi- nals? Oh and by the way, the majority of teachers can not afford cottages. The majority of us live pay- cheque to paycheque like the rest of the world. If you would like us to work during the summer months, send a letter to your school board requesting a year-round school calendar. Some schools have it! I, for one, wouldn’t mind it at all!

Last year, This Week launched a monthly series following Ms. Czop along her journey undergoing various forms of chemothera- py. Recently, the illness took a turn for the worse and her family admitted her to the supportive care unit at Lakeridge Health Oshawa. They plan to remain there, by her side, for as long as they can. DURHAM -- “Are you ready?” Brittni Czop’s voice rises softly in a nur- turing tone as if she’s speaking to a child. With a placid maturity stretching far beyond her years, the teen slides her moth- er’s arm around her neck and gently lifts her frail body off the hospital bed. “There,” she says, proudly finger-combing back what remains of Denise Czop’s scrag- gly red hair and kissing her sunken cheek, drained of any sign of life. Ms. Czop eyes her daugh- ter curiously and clutches her hand as she reaches to find the words. “Thank you,” she says, her voice barely above a whisper. It’s Brittni’s Sweet 16th birthday and she’s spending it in supportive care, a unit at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for patients requiring end-of-life care. Ms. Czop was admitted to the hospital on Boxing Day following a precipitous decline in her health. In November, a CT scan showed that the tumours in her liver had started growing again, prompting another switch in chemotherapy. But this time, her oncologist informed her that all the local treatment options had been exhausted and suggested she undergo testing at Sunny- brook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto for a new round of chemo drugs. “She did all the tests and was approved for the new drugs so that gave us a little bit of hope, but maybe a little bit of hope too late,” says her mother, Rosemary Doucett. In the days leading up to Christmas, Ms. Czop lost her appetite and had trou- ble keeping food down. She had become increasingly disoriented, dragging her with- ering frame from one moment to the next, slowly drifting in and out of touch with her surroundings. “She was jittery and kind of just wan- dering, so for her safety at that point, we weren’t sure if it was right for her to stay at home,” Ms. Doucett says. So while most families gathered togeth- er over the holidays to celebrate the festive season, Ms. Czop’s loved ones convened for a different reason. The time had come for them to accept that their mother, daughter, sister, friend and heroine was slipping away. “A room had opened up at the hospital and we had an hour to accept it or we didn’t know when we’d get another one so we sat down with the kids and we talked about it,” says her father, Don Doucett. While it has always been Ms. Czop’s wish to die at home, the family ultimately decid- ed that it would be too hard for them to endure. “Every time, even now, you go by the front room and the empty bed is there,” says Mr. Doucett, who has helped many families cope with loss in his role as a hospital chap- lain. “For her to die in bed (at home) would be the worst thing -- the kids would never for- get that.” Supportive care aims to ease a patient’s discomfort, rather than address their medi- cal needs. It’s often the last step for a per- son who is battling cancer and requires their family to face the difficult realization that the end is near. Since Ms. Czop was diagnosed with ter- minal cancer nearly four years ago, the family has lived day by day, clinging to one another for the strength to push past the carnage the disease has wrought. Now, in the final days, they simply want to keep her comfortable and shower her with endless love. “She’s not in any pain but she’s been sleeping a lot,” says Ms. Doucett. “At times, she’s aware enough that she chats with us ... we have good days and we have bad days. “It’s hard to see her like this when she used to be so full of vitality but there seems to be an inner strength that keeps her going. She just won’t give up; she keeps fighting.” Ms. Czop’s younger daughter, Courtney, 14, has decorated her hospital room with photos capturing happier times with family and friends. “I’m scared to leave her,” she says, squirm- ing in her chair with streaks of dried tears visible on her face. “We just want her to know that we love her and that we’re here for her until the end.” Brittni sits behind her, twirling a strand of her sister’s curly red hair around her finger and nodding silently. Throughout the twists and turns of the journey, the family finds comfort in know- ing Ms. Czop has touched so many people with her messages of hope and incurable zest for life. “Right from the beginning, Denise said to me that you always hear about people who have fought cancer and survived but you never hear about those who are still fight- ing, and their families, and what they’re going through,” says Mr. Doucett. “That was her biggest wish -- to be able to share that. And she’s done it.” Reporter Parvaneh Pessian covers the town of Whitby for Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division RON PIETRONIRO PHOTOS / METROLAND OSHAWA -- Denise Czop with daughter Courtney (photo above) at Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

Tuxedos, long gowns, one dining venue, small inside staterooms, passport retention and line-ups galore were the norm. That is very different than today’s cruises which are much more relaxed and feature many dining options, multiple entertainment venues and stateroom balconies for your personal relaxation. Best of all, extensive line-ups for passport control have virtually been eliminated with online pre-boarding registration. Many travellers, especially those that prefer the all-inclusive experiencehavecomplainedthattheywishedcruisescame withaDrinkPackage. Thishasevolvedovertheyearsaswell. Afewyearsagoafewcruiselinesstartedincludingalcoholic beverages. This was generally limited to the upper end cruises but this has also evolved. Many of the mainstream linesnowhaveDrinkPackagesavailableforpurchasetogive you an all-inclusive experience. The biggest reason to the evolution of cruising is all the ships that are sailing now compared the relatively few options 25 years ago. And that means competition and of course, the winner is the traveller. The one thing that really hasn’tchangedaboutcruisingistheprice. Cruisepricesand value are greater than ever. The leveling off of the Canadian dollar and the struggling US economy has given Canadian travellers tremendous value, especially for cruising.

Are you having guests over for game night? Whether you’re hosting a simple cocktail party or a lavish feast, stay tuned to see how to make five deli- cious winter appetizers that will kick off your meal in style. Visit durhamregion.com start- ing Monday to see the first appetizer, Curried Carrot and Coconut Milk Soup. Chefs David Hawey and Peter Lee of Dur- ham College’s Culinary Skills and Hospital- ity Management programs, along with two of their students, have created five winter appetizers that will please your taste buds on several occasions. While recipe creation is not part of the first-year curriculum, there are many keen students in the program with some fantastic and creative ideas. The exercise of making these recipes for readers is a great extracurricular activity which allows a couple of eager students the opportunity to work in a one-on-one envi- ronment with the two chefs. The team tried to create something for everyone with these five menu items, taking dietary considerations, preparation time and the use of locally avail- able and seasonal foods into account along the way. Curried carrot and coconut milk soup is a great starter course or just a tasty treat after a day on the rink, the slopes or even after shov- elling your driveway. With a flavour inspired by Indian cuisine, this vegan soup is prepared quickly with the use of an immersion blender or food processor. With the Superbowl right around the cor- ner, how about pulled pork potato skins? These can be made out of any size potato, from bite-sized to super-sized. Depending on your tastes you can toss the pork in your favourite barbecue sauce, or, for a bit of extra crunch, serve them topped with some fresh coleslaw. Pear and brie bruschetta can be served with cocktails before the meal, alongside a soup, with the entrée or on their own as an appe- tizer. To test the pears for ripeness, lightly press the neck -- if it gives a little under the pressure, it should be ripe. If the pears are too firm or under-ripe, place them in a paper bag for a couple of days and re-test them. Pears vary greatly in flavour by variety so feel free to switch varieties each time you make this. When you purchase brie, its texture could be from quite firm to quite soft. Cheeses such as brie will start out firm and mild then develop more flavour and become softer as they age. Doubling as a lunch item or a dinner appe- tizer, mushrooms in ginger-thai basil cream sauce is served in a phyllo cup with a bite of salad. This dish requires a bit of cutting but can be cooked ahead, and then reheated and plated quickly, giving you time to chat with your guests pre-dinner and quickly serve an elegant appetizer. The DLT -- duck, lettuce and tomato -- are mini sandwiches with smoked King Cole duck, baby arugula and tomato with a hint of citrus mayonnaise. Served on a variety of breads, these are great before a meal or can be served at almost any type of gathering, from chili-fests to wedding receptions.

Box 705 | Oshawa SportsSports Brad Kelly- Sports Editor • bkelly@durhamregion.com Leaves Pickering Panthers to play in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com GATINEAU, QUEBEC -- Faced with a tough decision, Derek Sheppard opted for the sure thing. Who could blame him? The Ajax resident had visions of head- ing to the States to play on a hockey schol- arship one day. But with limited interest from south of the border, and a guaran- teed deal to play major junior hockey on the table, the Ajax resident packed his stuff and headed to Quebec to join the Gatineau Olympiques. He had just returned to Gatineau in the wee hours of Monday morning from a week-long road trip that took him and his teammates through Cape Breton, P.E.I., Moncton and Acadie-Bathurst. “It was a tough decision to figure out what I would rather do, go to a school in the States or play major junior,” says Sheppard. “My dad and I talked and we thought it was better to have something in your hand instead of a possibility, because I didn’t have any schools looking at me and I had an offer here. We didn’t think it would be a good idea to turn down an offer.” He added that with the education pack- age offered by teams in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, it’s the best of both worlds. His road to major junior hockey went through the Ajax-Pickering Raiders Triple- A system, signing with the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Pickering Panthers last season before being traded to Aurora. In the summer, he was traded back to the Panthers, and in 34 games this season, the defenceman had 4-12-16 point totals. The 18 year old was originally con- tacted in mid-October by Gatineau, but didn’t think the opportunity was a good one, so he opted to stay with the Pan- thers. When Gatineau came calling again in late November, he went down for a skate, returning a couple of weeks later for another. Over Christmas an offer was made and he accepted. Even with joining a team late in the sea- son, and the language issues that could arise in Quebec, he says the transition has been relatively smooth. Coaches primar- ily use English, so there is no confusion at practice or in games. “It’s been really easy. I thought it would have been harder,” he admits. “The guys have been very good and I have been wel- comed. I have a good billet family and the transition has been easy. “We work through (the language). It’s not that bad. There are a couple of guys from the Czech Republic that also don’t speak French and just a little bit of Eng- lish. It’s a learning curve, but we make it work.” In his second game with Gatineau, his first on home ice, he made a posi- tive impact, scoring once and getting into a fight in a 6-5 shootout victory over Shawinigan. “That’s not what I’m here for, but it’s always a good feeling to score,” says Shep- pard. “I’m here to bring other stuff to the table. Scoring goals is just a bonus to what I’m trying to bring. It was a good feeling scoring that first goal in my first game at home. The crowd was pretty loud when I scored so it was a pretty good feeling.” He scored another goal, on the power play, in a 7-0 win over Cape Breton during this past week’s road trip. Sheppard sees his role as being a big, physical presence, mixing it up and play- ing with an edge. Through nine games he has two goals and 15 penalty minutes. >Sheppard joins Olympiques SHAWN MUIR / OJHL IMAGES PICKERING -- Derek Sheppard carried the puck up the ice earlier this season for the Pickering Panthers in an Ontario Junior Hockey League game. An offer from the Gatineau Olympiques allowed the Ajax resident to join the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team just after Christmas. Hockey Watch Panthers make changes at trade deadline BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The goal hasn’t changed, but the players on the roster of the Pickering Panthers trying to achieve the goal certainly have. The Panthers moved three of their top 1992-born players in their final year of junior eligibility on the Jan. 10 trade dead- line, in two separate deals that returned two players and cash in the transactions. Gone is the team’s second and third lead- ing scorers in forward Matt Galati and defenceman Cody Doiron, both traded to St. Michael’s, while forward Robert Lep- ine has been shipped to the Jr. B Welland Jr. Canadiens. “Obviously it’s tough when you lose your top two guys,” said GM/head coach Mike Galati, the older brother of Matt. “I made it clear to them all the week before that all the 1992s were available. If someone liked them and it worked for the team, we would make it happen. “We’re not out of it and I think they real- ize it. The goal hasn’t changed. Let’s make a run at the playoffs. If we get in, great, if we don’t we return most of these guys next year, so we’ll be excited for that.” The younger Galati had 21 goals and 18 assists in 39 games this season, while Doiron had 7-23-30 numbers in 38 games. Lepine had 6-9-15 point totals in 26 games with the Panthers. In return for Galati and Doiron the Pan- thers got a little younger. Nicholas Lepone had 8-9-17 point totals in 39 games this sea- son with St. Michael’s, while Riley Devine, whose rights were owned by St. Michael’s, was playing Jr. B in Fort Erie, where he post- ed 4-12-16 totals in 33 games. The deal that sent Lepine to Welland involved cash only. “We’re never going to replace a kid who can score like that (Matt Galati) and a kid that can defend like Cody (Doiron) and score from the back end,” said Galati. “We knew we weren’t going to get those two back (next season). But we got two kids that we think could be that in a year or two. They are two younger kids that want to play and they will get the chance here.” Both players were in the lineup during weekend losses to Wellington, 6-1 on home ice Friday and 4-1 in Wellington on Sunday. Tanner Bull and Jeff Heard accounted for the scoring. The Panthers enter the weekend with a 12-25-4 record, nine points out of the eighth playoff spot in the North East Conference with 14 games remaining. Friday they face Aurora at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday it’s Lind- say at 6:30 p.m., with both games at the Pickering Recreation Complex. 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 14 AP 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 15 AP 7th PICKERING SCOUT GROUP RECYCLING DAY Saturday, January 26th 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. DID YOU MAKE A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION TO CLEAN OUT THE CLUTTER IN YOUR GARAGE OR BASEMENT?

When last they played, the Lightning capped an eight-game undefeated streak with a 2-1 win over Bluewater back on Dec. 23. In their first game back in Pro- vincial Women’s Hockey League action on Saturday, that streak was snapped, losing to first place Mississauga 3-2. “First game, first period, we stunk against Mississauga and I think the shots were ridiculous in the first period,” said McDonald, whose team was outshot 16-4 and faced a 2-0 deficit after the opening period. “Then we clawed back, had a couple of opportuni- ties late. Our second and third periods we played pretty good.” After falling behind 3-0 in the second, call-up Brittany Kucera got the Lightning on the board before the period was out, and Dana Fairbarn’s power-play goal late in the third gave the Light- ning a chance. They couldn’t get the equalizer in the final 2:55, however. The final shot total finished 37-26 in favour of Mississauga, as the Lightning found their stride. After playing the top team in the league, the Lightning were at the other end of the scale on home ice Sunday, facing last place Southwest, resulting in a 4-1 win. “We had a strong two periods against Southwest, but the third was not as strong. It was one of those things, we were never in any trouble,” said McDonald. Brittany St. James scored twice in the first period and Stephanie Cooper added a third, while Tay- lor Edwards added another for a commanding 4-1 lead through two periods. Jackie Rochefort’s shutout bid was spoiled with just 2:19 left in the game, as the Light- ning outshot Southwest 35-16 on the afternoon. While some rust gathered in their game over the 20-day lay- off, there were some positives to come out of it. Because of an assortment of injuries, the Light- ning had to cancel a trip to play NCAA schools Ohio State and Mercyhurst, but on the plus side, the injured players had time to heal. “It was a good thing because we were getting banged up,” said McDonald. “But the first game back, it’s tough to compete against Mississauga.” The Lightning, who sit fourth with a record of 17-5-1-1 have a busy weekend, starting with a trip to Leaside on Friday, fol- lowed by home dates on Satur- day to Waterloo (8:30 p.m.) and Sunday to Nepean (2:30 p.m.) THE SCOOP Among the injured are Kennedy Marchment (broken arm), Lindsay Johnston (concussion) and Taylor Edwards (broken toe). Marchment could return as early as this weekend, while Edwards is playing through her injury ... The game originally scheduled for Friday, Jan. 11 in Stoney Creek has been rescheduled to Tuesday, Feb. 19. Apparently, the new arena in Stoney Creek was ready for ice rentals. > Jason lieBregts / Metroland AJAX -- Durham West Lightning’s Carly Marchment, right, tried to slip past Southwest Wildcats’ Dana Byrne in Provincial Women’s Hockey League action at the Ajax Community Centre. Holes down middle become centre of attention for Gens OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Gener- als got a solid taste of what life could be like without their top two centremen over the week- end. And it wasn’t a very good taste. Playing without captain Boone Jenner and fellow pivot Scott Laughton, both having departed town to take part in NHL train- ing camps this week, the Gener- als came out flat and struggled to generate much of anything on offence in a 3-1 loss to the Wind- sor Spitfires Sunday afternoon at the General Motors Centre. Without Jenner, away at camp with the Columbus Blue Jackets and Laughton, attending with the Philadelphia Flyers, it is no doubt tough. Sunday, rookie Michael Dal Colle started the game cen- tring the top unit between Tyler Biggs and Justice Dundas, but by game’s end he was shifted back to the wing as Cole Cas- sels moved up to centre him and Biggs. No doubt time has been spent in the faceoff circles this week, ahead of Thursday’s road game against the Barrie Colts. Following that, the Gener- als are off Friday before back- to-back home games over the weekend. Saturday night they host the Kingston Frontenacs and Sunday evening the Missis- sauga Steelheads visit. 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 • Ja n u a r y 1 6 , 2 0 1 3 16 AP NEW!NEW!DISCOVER IMPROVE ACHIEVE Oshawa: 200 John St. W. oshawatrucking.com � �� 4-month internship with leading-edge transportation companies � �� Introduction to Supply Chain & Logistics � �� Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Air Brake Training � 50 hours of one-on-one in-cab instruction � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 40WEEKS PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORT OPERATOR � �� Air Brake Training � Commercial Driver Improvement (Defensive Driving) Course Certificate � Preparation for AZ Class license � Training on state-of-the-art 3D simulators 8WEEKS TRACTOR-TRAILER (AZ) Member of:Delivered inPartnership with: Courses include a diploma from theTruck Training Schools Association of Ontario (TTSAO).

HowdoIpreparemyhome’s Plumbing Services MIKE RIZZI pco HH J&S Plumbing Service Inc. Will replacing my carpeting with hardwood or laminate ﬂ ooring help my allergies? While it is true that hard surface ﬂ oors themselves do not create airborne particles, if the hardwood or laminate is not cleaned thoroughly and consistently , the dust that lands on it is free to travel easily thr o u g h the air. This may actually create a worse situatio n than carpeting, which can entrap this dust until it is vacuumed.

We are constructing a Tudor-style roof which will be pla c e d o n t o p o f the funeral home in the near future. The building u s e d t o h a v e t h i s gable roof, but it was lost to ﬁ re in 1956. The old Newmarket Era Ofﬁ ce on Main Street had caught ﬁ re and Roadhouse & R o s e, which was adjacent to the ERA at this time, incurred signiﬁ cant ﬁ re damage and the roof was consequently removed. Now, 54 years later, it is being reconstructed as a heritage project.

Regular inspections are especially important in our s e v e r e Canadian climate. It’s important to spot any trouble before it becomes dangerous and more costly.

Your tires sh o u l d a l s o b e inspected, check for cracks, tread depth and proper inﬂ ation.
