Durham Festive
RIDE campaign
sees 102 impaired
charges
DURHAM -- The Durham police
Festive RIDE campaign has ended
for another year, with 102 motorists
charged with drunk driving offenc-
es over a seven-week period.
The number of impaired charg-
es was significantly lower than last
year’s total of 132. But nasty winter
weather meant that cops checked
far fewer vehicles this year than last.
“The extreme weather condi-
tions, including ice, snow and high
winds, hampered the efforts of the
RIDE team,” Durham police said in
a statement Jan. 2.
During the 2013 campaign, offi-
cers stopped 7,062 vehicles, com-
pared to 13,545 in 2012. During this
year’s effort 566 roadside breath
tests were administered and, in
addition to impaired charges, offi-
cers issued 90 three-day suspen-
sions for drivers who registered a
warning (102 suspensions occurred
in 2012). Police suspended licenc-
es of 15 novice drivers found to
be breaching their zero alcohol
requirement (six in 2012) and 42 G1
and G2 licences holders were found
to be in breach of their no alcohol
condition (40).

MacIsaac family wants
answers after shooting
AJAX -- The family of Michael
MacIsaac, a 47-year-old Ajax man
who died after being shot by Dur-
ham police last month, wants
answers.
They and their supporters won’t
stop until they get them.
A group of family, friends and sup-
porters of Mr. MacIsaac gathered in
Ajax Jan. 4 for a candlelight vigil on
the spot where he was shot by Dur-
ham police the morning of Dec. 2.
The group of a couple hundred peo-
ple marched -- clad in black T-shirts
that read ‘Justice for Michael’ and
carrying signs with the same slogan
-- from the Westney Road and Wil-
liamson Drive area of Ajax north on
Dring Street.

PICKERING -- More than
two weeks after the ice storm,
Pickering is still in cleanup mode
-- and City staff says it could be
months before the job is done.
Richard Holborn, the City’s
director of engineering and pub-
lic works, described the damage
to trees as “devastating.”
He said City staff worked with
contracted maintenance services
to do a week-long blitz from Dec.
22 to 27, removing damaged trees
from the roads and cutting the
branches into bundles.
Since then, cleanup has been
on hold due to frozen equipment
and the need to direct resources
to snow clearing.
“It’s going to take weeks to
months to get it all done, there is
a significant amount of tree dam-
age on street trees,” Mr. Holborn
said, noting that doesn’t take into
account damage to trees in parks
or open spaces.
Contractors have been hired
for January to cut down broken
branches and chip branches that
are piled up on boulevards.
The cost for those services is
about $40,000 a week. The City
doesn’t have a total cost for storm
cleanup, because damage is still
being uncovered.
The hope is that damaged trees
will be replaced sometime in
2014, but it will depend on how
much money is available.

MacIsaac family
want changes to
police protocols

AJAX -- The family of Michael MacIsaac, a
47-year-old Ajax man who died after being
shot by Durham police last month, wants
answers.
They and their supporters won’t stop until
they get them.
A group of family, friends and supporters
of Mr. MacIsaac gathered in Ajax Jan. 4 for a
candlelight vigil on the spot where he was
shot by Durham police the morning of Dec.
2. The group of a couple hundred people
marched -- clad in black T-shirts that read
‘Justice for Michael’ and carrying signs with
the same slogan -- from the Westney Road
and Williamson Drive area of Ajax north on
Dring Street, just a few hundred yards to the
spot where Mr. MacIsaac was shot following
what the Special Investigations Unit termed
an “interaction” with police.
Mr. MacIsaac, who suffered from epilep-
sy as a result of a childhood injury, died in a
Toronto hospital a day after the shooting.
The shooting occurred after Mr. MacIsaac,
disoriented and confused following seizures
brought on by a high fever, left his home
naked and barefoot and took to the frigid
neighbourhood streets. Police were called
after hearing of ‘a man acting in a strange
manner’.
“My husband suffered from epilepsy and
something went terribly wrong that morn-
ing,” said his wife, Marianne MacIsaac. “After
several seizures and a high fever, he was not
himself. Who knew that a call to 911 for help
would have resulted in his tragic death?"
Ms. MacIsaac was just a few doors down
pleading with police for information on her
husband, information that she says was with-
held for some time.
The family is calling for charges to be
brought against the officer who shot Mr.
MacIsaac and they would like to see all Ontar-
io police officers receive training in alterna-
tive techniques designed to help de-escalate
crisis situations rather than use lethal force.
“As a community we cannot live in fear that
a call for help to those that are meant to serve
and protect will result in tragedy for our fam-
ilies,” Mr. MacIsaac’s wife of 12 years added.
Mr. MacIsaac’s epilepsy was diagnosed
during his adult years, though his issues can
be traced back to a schoolyard bullying inci-
dent when he was eight years old, according
to his mother, Yvonne MacIsaac.
That bullying incident led to years of pain
and frustration for Mr. MacIsaac and his
mother believes that bullying is what ulti-
mately resulted in his death.
“Just like on the playground when we was
eight, Michael was bullied one last time on
Dec. 2 when he was shot without any ques-
tion of his obvious distress and need for
help,” she said at the vigil.
“A parent should never have to bury a child,
especially when their child’s life ends in such
a violent way,” she continued. “He was my
only son.”
The MacIsaac family acknowledges that Mr.
MacIsaac was in need of help on the day of
his shooting, but remain heartbroken some
four weeks following his death.
“Michael was the love of my life and my
rock,” his wife said. “He had an infectious
laugh and smile ... He was a kind man who
would give the shirt off his back to help any-
one in need.”
And that night, his family says, he was in
need.
“My brother needed help and protection
that morning,” Joanne MacIsaac said. “Not
bullets.”
Remembering Mr. MacIsaac wasn’t the sole
purpose of the gathering, however.
“Tonight we are out here for three reasons,”
explained Mr. MacIsaac’s sister, Gerarda
VanKirk. “We are out here to honour Michael
and his life, we are out here to ask for the
police officer that shot him to have justice
be served and we are out here because we
believe police protocol should be changed.
“This should not happen. A man in the
street should not be shot down in Canada,”
she added.
The Ontario Federation of Labour says
a lack of protocols in place province-wide
regarding how to deal with crisis situations
led to Mr. MacIsaac’s shooting.
OFL president Sid Ryan said the family
deserves a full investigation.
“The family is still not hearing the details,
all of the details, about what actually hap-
pened to Michael on that particular morning
and why lethal force had to be used and not
some de-escalation technique. The family
deserves to have that,” he said.
AJAX -- Michael MacIsaac was shot and killed during a confrontation with police
responding to a domestic disturbance on Dec. 2. His family, including his wife,
Marianne MacIsaac, left, and supporters held a vigil to demand justice for Michael
on Dring Street Jan. 4. Jason Liebregts / Metroland

Nominate
someone
who’s making
a difference
to Durham
We want to recognize
Local Heroes each week
DURHAM -- Local Heroes live among
us, and their good deeds make Durham
Region just a little bit better.
Metroland Media Group’s Durham
Region Division wants to
recognize people who
do just a little bit extra
to make the world a lit-
tle nicer. And, we’ll fea-
ture these special peo-
ple on our website and
in our newspapers on
a weekly basis.
Who’s a Local Hero?
During the recent ice storm that caused
power failures throughout the region,
there were neighbours helping neighbours
and, of course, hydro linemen who went to
extraordinary lengths to restore power.
There are hospital volunteers who pro-
vide a helping hand to visitors, or the cross-
ing guard who keeps children safe, teach-
ers who goes above and beyond for their
students, or a coach who gives their time
and energy for the youth of the communi-
ty. These are a few examples of people who
make Durham Region a great place to live.
In
order to salute the work of Local Heroes
throughout Durham Region, we need your
help. We’re asking you to nominate a Local
Hero and tells us -- in 100 words or less -- a
little bit about their good deeds.
You can e-mail us your ‘Local Heroes’
information to newsroom@durhamre-
gion.com. Please include a photograph
of the nominee. Or, you can go online to
www.durhamregion.com/localheroes and
fill in the required information and upload
a photo.
You can nominate someone from across
Durham Region, whether it’s a student or a
senior citizen or anyone in between.
As a special incentive, we’re offering
a monthly prize of a $25 Tim Hortons
coffee card to be drawn randomly from
among those who’ve nominated a Local
Hero.

Durham residents can
apply for grocery gift
cards Thursday
DURHAM -- Durham residents who lost
power during the recent ice storm will now
be able to apply for gift cards to offset the
cost of spoiled food.
The Province has announced another
$450,000 in gift cards will be distributed to
communities hard hit by the storm, includ-
ing Durham.
Local residents can apply for a card
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday,
Jan. 9 by calling the Region of Durham at
1-888-721-0622.
If there are any cards left after the first day,
the phone line will be open again at 9 a.m.
on Friday, Jan. 10.
There will be 1,882 cards valued at $50
available for Durham residents, enough to
assist about 700 families and 482 individu-
als. Families will be eligible for $100, while
individuals will receive $50.
To qualify residents must have been with-
out power for more than 48 hours and
must require financial assistance to replace
spoiled food.
The initiative cannot provide cards to
everyone who lost power and is reserved
for those facing the most need.
When applying, residents will be required
to supply their full name and address, con-
firmation of loss of hydro for at least 48
hours and that they require financial assis-
tance to replace spoiled food due to pro-
longed power outages.
Those who are eligible for a gift card will
be provided with a pickup location based
on their address. Cards will be distributed
starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 10 at 605
Rossland Rd. E. in Whitby and 140 Com-
mercial Ave. in Ajax.
Both locations will remain open until 7
p.m. When picking up their card, eligible
applicants will be required to bring identi-
fication with proof of address.
Recipients who are unable to pick up
their card in person due to mobility issues
can send someone on their behalf, provid-
ed that the individual brings a signed note
from the eligible applicant and the eligi-
ble applicant’s identification with proof of
address.
The Region of Durham will track distribu-
tion using card serial numbers.
On Dec. 30 the Province announced gro-
cery gift cards would be distributed to eli-
gible Toronto residents.
Durham residents struggling to replace
lost food expressed concern that the pro-
gram wasn’t offered in this community.
Oshawa resident Kathy Gagnon was with-
out power for 26 hours and then intermit-
tently for four- and five-hour periods. She
said she lost about $50 worth of food.
Ms. Gagnon budgets carefully because
she’s on disability support and said it wasn’t
fair that her sister who lives in Scarborough
was eligible for the food cards, but as a Dur-
ham resident she wasn’t.
The Region of Durham supplied the Prov-
ince with data showing there were 13,529
local customers without power for more
than 48 hours after the ice storm.
As a result Durham is one of the commu-
nities included in the latest round of gift
cards.
The gift cards are available thanks to
donations from the corporate sector, unions
and associations, including $250,000 to the
Canadian Red Cross from the Canadian Tire
Family of Companies on behalf of Ontario’s
hydro workers.
To date, $842,600 worth of grocery cards
have been distributed to more that 8,500
families and individuals.

Police
Woman faces charges
after pursuit in Pickering
PICKERING -- A Pickering woman faces
several charges after police were led on a
pursuit early Monday.
A suspect was taken into custody on
traffic and drug charges, as well as an out-
standing warrant for theft and fraud offenc-
es, after an incident that began with a traffic
stop at about 2 a.m., Durham police said.
An officer had stopped the car in the
vicinity of Valley Farm Road and Conces-
sion 3 and was approaching the vehicle
when the driver suddenly sped off, police
said.
Cops followed at a distance and the
vehicle crashed into a snowbank a short dis-
tance away at Major Oaks Drive; the driver
fled on foot and was quickly apprehended.
Keisha Gonsalves, 22, of Anton Square
in Pickering, faces numerous charges.

Durham Transit
Presto card changes
aren’t progress
To the editor:
Very shortly Durham Transit riders will
prepay their fares online and use the new
Presto card. Consequently, using month-
ly paper passes and tickets will soon be a
relic of the past. This new plan is lazy and
non-inclusive thinking on the part of Dur-
ham Transit. Not
everyone can, or
wants to, prepay
online, includ-
ing submitting
their bank or
credit details (if
they have a cred-
it card) to a sec-
ondary source.
Riders, such as the elderly, may not have
the computer savvy to access an online
account. New immigrants may have limit-
ed English skills. Young families may have
little money to maintain the $10 mini-
mum balance and the $6 initial fee to reg-
ister.
Watch ridership fall when people care-
fully plan only their necessary trips and
pay as they go in cash.

Stirring up memories
I was born in Oshawa in 1920.
When old enough, I became a Cub and
then a Scout. My best friend was Chuck Pat-
terson, the minister’s son.
We got a new leader and as he had been
an officer in the British Navy, he decided we
would become the 8th Oshawa Sea Scouts.
We had a boathouse at the Oshawa har-
bour and a summer camp on Lake Ontario
at the mouth of the creek that ran through
Pickering. All around us was farmland.
In the evenings we had a camp fire. The
older boys competed to see who could build
the biggest bonfire. They often put on skits.
One that I remember was one with their own
verses sung to a well-known song. One of
went as follows: “Romans came across the
channel all dressed up in tin and flannel.”
Little did they know that a few years later
they would be crossing the channel in the
opposite direction. Some of them, including
my friend Chuck, never came back.
Defence Industries Ltd. was formed to
build a munitions plant on land near our
camp. People came from all over to work and
they needed housing. As a result, sections
of houses were built elsewhere, shipped to
what would become Ajax, and assembled.
After the war, many occupants stayed.
My wife June had joined the navy, partly
because she wanted to see the ocean and
partly hoping to visit family in England. She
ended up spending the war years in Winni-
peg. A few years later, we decided to camp
from coast to coast. Over time we swam
in both oceans and even rode in a native
canoe on James Bay. One of our stops was
at a provincial park that had a souvenir shop.
June went inside while I chatted with a man
outside. It turns out his father was head hon-
cho in the construction of the Ajax munitions
plant. He had been raised in Ajax on a street
not far from ours. Another coincidence.
My son, Joe, took me to Ajax recently.
Although I knew it had grown I hadn’t real-
ized by how much. Houses were down as far
as the lake and even near our old camp site.

Looking back...
What is one to make
of the provincial
Liberals’ travelling
gift card show?
Depending how one looks at the issue,
it is either one more compelling example
of a problem that the Liberals believe can
be solved spreading money around (think
cancelled gas plants), or it is a compas-
sionate response to a need that has arisen
in Ontario as a consequence of the recent
ice storm.
Actually, it’s both, with a considerable
monetary component of the program
provided by Ontario’s corporate grocers,
unions ande associations.
The program aimed at compensating
the most vulnerable victims of the Christ-
mas holiday ice storm is setting up in Dur-
ham Region tomorrow.
Still, it seems a knee-jerk response to
criticisms of Toronto being treated dif-
ferently than the GTA, that it is nothing
but another hastily crafted -- and overly
expensive -- public relations exercise.
It appears that the Province has learned
from the free-for-all that characterized
last week’s card distribution in Toron-
to and is relying on a list of those most
affected by the ice storm provided by Dur-
ham Region.
That seems a much better, organized
approach and will reduce the numbers
of cards going to those who shouldn’t be
getting them, as was the issue in Toronto
last week with several reports of people
lining up and claiming cards without any
identification requirement to prove need,
or even occupancy. Others were simply
turned away when the grocery gift cards
ran out.
It’s true that residents in Durham
Region and in other GTA communities
suffered as much as Torontonians when
the lights went out. Those most affected
by the storm, low-income residents for
whom $100 worth of food is a substantial
amount, should be the only residents who
are compensated.
For the vast majority of others affected
by the ice storm, the experience is now
behind them.
Durham residents lived up to their civic
obligations, cleared branches and side-
walks where they could, replaced spoiled
foodstuffs, repaired furnaces and appli-
ances and have generally moved on, some
to deal with insurers and others to their
next life challenge.
At this point, there is little more to be
gained by continuing to hand out grocery
gift cards, except perhaps to lift the Liber-
als for a period of time in the polls.
Five New Year’s
Cyber Resolutions
Trend Micro cyber threat analysts pre-
dict that individuals, businesses and govern-
ments will face a proliferation of sophisticated
digital threats in 2014.
“Unlike hitting the gym everyday, commit-
ting to lead a safer and healthier online life is
among the simpler New Year’s resolutions to
keep,” says Trend Micro Canada’s Marketing
Director George McTaggart.
1. Be threat conscious
2014 promises to be a banner year for
hackers and cybercriminals. Avoid trouble by
learning the symptoms of a malware-infected
computer and follow our tips for strong pass-
words to keep your data safe and secure.
2. Take better care of mobile devices
Even if your device does have security
software on board, your activity on social
networks may put you at risk. Be smart about
your mobile check-ins, and consider this
advice for securing your social sharing.
3. Clean up digital clutter
With the web becoming the go-to place
for shopping, sharing, and services, you may
be leaving more than just a footprint in your
browser history on various sites. Don’t be a
digital hoarder, and be aware of your privacy
settings and what you are sharing on your
social networks to keep from creating a digi-
tal trail for criminals to follow.
4. Be more pro-security
Get proactive in protecting your devic-
es and your data: learn how to protect your
computer (whether its a MAC or PC), and
consider security software for you and your
family.
5. Manage your passwords
Don’t reuse, reduce and recycle—those
three R’s are great for the environment but
not for your digital safety.
Once you have used a password, don’t
use it again. If cybercriminals get your pass-
word, they will have access to everything it
unlocks.

Every emergency
needs a good comic
Amazingly my domicile managed to
dodge most of the really dire consequenc-
es of the recent ice storms.
The nasty weather that left so many
without power did little to affect my
hearth and home, but it has nonetheless
affected me considerably.
The news clips of people toughing it out
without heat or hydro have had me doing
some hard thinking of late and I hate to
admit it, but I’ve come to the realization
that should some monumental natural
disaster strike my neck of the woods, I
would likely be among the first to snuff it.
It’s not that I don’t come from hardy
stock or that I lack any kind of will to sur-
vive; I do.
Just try getting between me and the last
piece of Christmas Toblerone. The prob-
lem is that I’m just not that terribly good
at prioritizing. I’m the guy who runs back
into my burning home only to come out
with, not a kitten or a puppy, but a box of
Bugles and a favourite Michael Bublé CD.
I’d love to be the ruggedly handsome,
lantern-jawed hero who can make the
tough decisions and lead his charges to
safety regardless of what lies ahead, but
I’m afraid I’m destined to be the comic
relief. And I certainly don’t mean to down-
play that role; every great disaster has to
have its accompanying entertainment.
The band played on as the Titanic
slipped beneath the icy waves, The USO
and CAS took the soldiers’ weary minds
off of war, if only for a little while. I’m sure
there was even someone doing card tricks
as the rest of the Donner party sized him
up for dinner.
Maintaining morale is an important,
even vital, role, it’s just that at the end
of the movie, the funny guy is rarely still
around.
My problem is I’m just not wired to think
practically.
My first thoughts upon coming outside
and seeing the world coated in ice, are not
‘Better lay in some provisions’ or ‘We’re
going to need candles and drinking water’
or ‘I should fill the car up while the gas
stations are still pumping’, but, ‘Hey guys,
look, you can slide on your bum all the
way down the driveway.’
I’m more concerned about where my
skates are than with how much time
before the food in the fridge spoils.
If I’m being totally honest, my only real
chance of survival in the event of some
cataclysm is to quickly find the person
who’s going to lead us all out of harm’s
way and somehow convince him or her
that I am, if not indispensable, then cer-
tainly worth keeping around for a laugh or
two.
To that end, I’ve decided my prepara-
tions for any kind of emergency need to
be somewhat different than most people’s.
I no longer stock up on batteries, potable
water and canned goods but I make sure
I have a comprehensive and up-to-date
memory full of show tunes, knock-knock
jokes and the complete lyrics to Kumba-
ya.
After all, when push comes to shove, I’d
rather be around the campfire ... than in
it.

Joanne W Reinert: I’d rath-
er see cars have to pass a
safety rather than and E-test.
Make them and everyone
else safer.
Facebook would just like to see an end to
the provincial government’s hated Drive
Clean program. Here’s what the chatter was
about last week on changes to the Ontario
program for vehicle owners:
Lisa Marie Fletcher: It would
be nice if the price of stickers
hadn’t gone up like 15$.....
else safer.
Sylvie Legault: It’s a cash
grab by the government and I
don’t care if it’s even a $5 test.
It shouldn’t exist period. Who
cares if it’s five bucks lower?
If your car doesn’t pass you have to spend
way more to make the repairs or you can’t
renew your licence. Dumb plan all around.
Dakota Lee: It’s served its
purpose by taking some nasty
beaters off the road. The pro-
gram has paid for itself now
so it is purely a cash grab for
the government. Not to mention the shady
mechanics who can turn your simple fix into
a big problem if you don’t know your cars.
Get rid of it. Safety is all we need.
Mark C. Armstrong: I run
etests and the system is
flawed and the cost to the
customer is absurd!! We
should run a yearly or bi-yearly vehicle
safety inspection like New York runs. In their
inspection they scan for the same things
that are checked in our etests anyway.
Emma Joynson: A govern-
ment program that benefits
only the rich...how generous
of them to lower the prices by
a whopping $5. The thing is a cash grab.
Sue Mazi: My van failed then
passed one week later. All
I did was take it home and
park it. Rip off for sure. Every
vehicle should be tested regardless of
age.

Lakeridge Health
Oshawa and Port Perry
sites ring in the year
with Nevaeh Clarke and
Sydney Baynes
Crystal Crimi
newsroom@durhamregion.com
PORT PERRY -- It took almost 52 hours of
labour, but Nevaeh Clarke made her way
into the world just in time to celebrate
2014.
Born to new parents Holly Clarke and
Cody Llewellyn, of Oshawa, Nevaeh made
her entrance at 12:37 a.m., Jan. 1, 2014, at
Lakeridge Health’s Port Perry hospital.
“It’s heaven spelled backwards,” said
the new father of his daughter’s name.
At the Oshawa hospital, Nikala and
Michael Baynes’ newest family addition,
Sydney, was born at 2:10 a.m., weigh-
ing six pounds and 10 ounces. She joins
older sisters Brooklyn, 3, and Taylor, 15,
according to Lakeridge Health’s Aaron
Lazarus.
In Port Perry, Nevaeh arrived at eight
pounds, four ounces.
“She’s got a little chubby face, a bit of
black hair,” said Ms. Clarke, happy to
have a girl.
“So much more fun,” she added.
Ms. Clarke went into labour Monday,
but wasn’t admitted into the hospital
until Tuesday. Her due date was Jan. 4.
While the New Year’s Day arrival wasn’t
planned, Ms. Clarke and Mr. Llewellyn
are happy with their daughter’s birthday.
“It was just random; we lucked out,”
said Mr. Llewellyn.
“I had a feeling, I don’t know, I just felt
it,” added Ms. Clarke of the Jan. 1 delivery
date.
Although they live in Oshawa, the cou-
ple chose to have their first baby at the
Port Perry hospital because Ms. Clarke’s
siblings were all born there and it’s a
great hospital, said Mr. Llewellyn.
“They were really good with her,” Mr.
Llewellyn added.
When they take Nevaeh home, it will be
to a room all ready and waiting for her, in
a pink outfit picked out by dad.
Ajax’s New Year’s baby
AJAX -- A third baby girl made her way into
Durham Region on the first day of 2014.
At seven pounds, 13 ounces, Hasenat
Ahmadi was born around 10:20 a.m. Jan. 1
in Rouge Valley Health System’s Ajax hospi-
tal.
Her parents, Wahid Ahmadi and Zuhall
Rassy, recently moved from Ajax to Rich-
mond Hill.

Pickering election year
underway

DURHAM -- By 10 a.m. on the first day
Pickering City Hall opened for business in
2014, three candidates had already joined the
municipal election race.
The election will take place on Oct. 27 and
nominations must be made with the City
clerk by Sept. 12 at 2 p.m.
The three who signed up bright and early
on Jan. 2 will not run against one another.
Having held the position since 2003, Mayor
Dave Ryan was the first to put his name in,
and is running for re-election. Mayor Ryan
was Ward 1 City councillor from 1994 to 2003,
until taking the top spot at the council table.
“There are still things that I want to accom-
plish in the city,” said the mayor.
These include the creation of more jobs,
which he says continues to be his
No. 1 priority, especially now that
Seaton is coming down the pipe
and the Province has committed to
creating 30,000 jobs in the commu-
nity.
“It’s going to take a lot of work to make that
happen,” he said.
His other focuses include transit, building
a better working relationship with GO Tran-
sit and health care. This includes working
to ensure the merger between Rouge Valley
Health System and Scarborough Hospital is
done effectively, and working to get a hospital
built in Pickering.
Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles was
next, except this time, the councillor, who was
first elected in 1997, is running for the Ward 3
Regional councillor position in Pickering. The
spot is currently held by Councillor
Peter Rodrigues.
He said he’s dealt with a
number of regional issues in his 16
years as a city councillor, such as
transit, traffic and garbage pickup.
“I think that the mayor could use
that additional experience to help Pickering’s
profile and effectiveness at the Region,” said
Coun. Pickles.
Current Pickering Trustee Chris Braney
signed up for re-election for his seat at the
Durham District School Board. The cur-
rent vice-chairman of the board, who’s been
a Durham trustee since 2006, is passionate
about public education and wants to keep it
strong.
While he’s pleased Pickering students con-
tinue to improve in academic results, he plans
to work on ways to improve them even more
if he’s re-elected.
Other candidates to throw their hats in the
ring so far include Jennifer O’Connell and
Myrna Picotte vying for the Regional coun-
cillor Ward 1 seat, Peter Rodrigues looking
to hold onto his Regional councillor Ward 3
seat, Deborah Bissett in the running for City
councillor Ward 1 and Ian Cumming and
Gary Strange for City councillor Ward 2.
Chris Braney has filed as a candidate for
Pickering’s Durham District School Board
trustee and Jim McCafferty has filed for Pick-
ering’s Catholic board trustee seat.
The City of Pickering updates its candidate
information daily at pickering.ca/election.

Even if new trees are planted, Mr. Hol-
born said some areas of the city won’t look
like they once did.
“It’s quite devastating when you look at
streets that had mature canopies and now
will have small trees put in. It’s not going
to have the same community look that it
did.”
On a more positive note, Pickering poli-
ticians are praising emergency responders
and hydro workers for their hard work in
the aftermath of the storm, as well as resi-
dents for their patience and compassion.
“I personally heard from and visited
with many people that were going through
hardship and was heartened to hear of
the many neighbours and residents that
pitched in to make each other more com-
fortable, even if it was for just a hot cof-
fee or an invitation into their own homes,”
said Ward 3 Councillor David Pickles. “As a
community, people really pulled together.”
Pickering cleanup could
take months;

Add variety; try these different types of mushrooms
(NC) Mushrooms are one of the most versatile and natural ingredients used in today’s cooking. With their rich and meaty texture they can be used in almost any dish, from breakfast to dinner. Most Canadians are familiar with Canada’s most popular mushroom, the white button, but what about all the other varieties on the market? Specialty mushrooms are just as easy to prepare, and are packed with flavour and nutrients.Brown/CriminiCrimini mushrooms have a rich and nutty flavour that is slightly stronger than the white button mushroom. What’s great about the crimini is that it can be substituted for white buttons in any recipe. This gives you the opportunity to experiment with its stronger flavour and full texture.PortabellaThe large Portabella mushroom is well known by vegetarians. Its intense meaty flavour and robust texture make it ideal for replacing meat in burgers, pastas and other entrées.ShiitakeShiitake mushrooms are a flavourful mushroom that is often found in Asian cooking. These woodsy mushrooms have a very soft texture when cooked and are prefect stir-fried or sautéed with poultry, meat or pasta. Tough stems should be removed, and can be used to make stock.Oyster Oyster mushrooms are best eaten cooked. They have a mild flavour and velvety texture which is complemented nicely by cream sauces, pork or seafood.King OysterThe King Oyster mushroom may take some by surprise. The entire mushroom is edible, including the thick stem, which is pleasantly chewy. King oysters have a very delicate woodsy flavour with a hint of sweetness. They stand up well to being sautéed, stir-fried and grilled.
EnokiEnoki mushrooms are the most unusual looking of the bunch. These tiny mushrooms are grassy with a slight woodsy flavour. Enoki’s are best used raw, and make a great alternative to bean sprouts. They make the perfect addition to salads, soups and sandwiches, and add interest as a garnish on stir-fries.Regardless of what type mushrooms you like, the many restaurants of Durham Region including Massey’s, Mount Everest and Makimono use locally grown mushrooms in many of their delicious dishes.

Top scorer on
Pickering Panthers
won Minto Cup
with Whitby Warriors
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
COURTICE -- Success seems to be follow-
ing Brodie Tutton these days.
Consider that in the summer, as a mem-
ber of the Whitby Warriors Jr. A lacrosse
club, the Courtice resident won the ulti-
mate prize at that level, a Minto Cup title,
prevailing as the top team in the country
at the championship tournament in Brit-
ish Columbia.
That winning feeling has carried over
into the winter, as his Pickering Panthers
have a winning record and are destined
to be a playoff team in the Ontario Junior
Hockey League.
The success with the Panthers comes as
the biggest surprise, as the franchise has
been at or near the bottom of the stand-
ings every year since the 2008-09 season.
Tutton, in his second season with the
club, is one of the longest serving mem-
bers, opting to stay with the organization
rather than moving elsewhere.
“It just seems like everyone is working
a lot harder,” says the 19 year old of the
difference between this season and last.
“Last year we had talent, but I don’t think
we had the heart or work ethic that we
have this year.
“I always knew that (Mike) Galati was
a good coach and GM and one of these
years we were going to have a good year
and it seems like this year is our year.”
Tutton’s loyalty has paid off. He leads
the team in scoring (20-19-39), and has
been considered one of the go-to guys,
earning extra ice, where he also leads the
team in power-play goals (5). His point
totals this season have already eclipsed
his numbers from all of last season when
he netted 16 goals and 14 assists.
“The last couple years I haven’t been
a top six guy and coming into this year I
was banking on being Mike’s number one
guy,” says Tutton. “So far it seems like my
hard work over the summer has paid off.”
Tutton played all of his minor hockey
in the Clarington Toros system, and was
an eighth round selection of the Plym-
outh Whalers in the 2010 OHL draft. He
went to Kingston for his first year of Tier II
junior before joining the Panthers for the
start of the 2012-2013 season, collecting
30 points in 55 games.
He talks fondly of winning the Minto
Cup with the Warriors, specifically play-
ing on the same team as his brother Chad,
and sharing the experience with a num-
ber of close friends on the team.
“It taught me how to win, how to lose
and it was nice being on a winning team
for lacrosse and being able to jump right
into it for hockey,” he says of transitioning
from summer to winter. “I really learned
a lot of things from lacrosse, especially
from my brother and his leadership role.
It gave me an idea of how to be a leader
on a team.”
He still has some junior lacrosse eligibil-
ity remaining, but he’s not sure if he will
be returning to the Warriors this summer.
He’s pursuing an NCAA hockey scholar-
ship, which is his sport of choice.
“Ever since I’ve been young I’ve had a
passion for hockey,” he says of the pref-
erence. “I just played lacrosse for fun,
but I had just such a good time play-
ing lacrosse. I really used it for a training
method for hockey to keep in shape over
the summer instead of laying around and
not doing anything.”
He hasn’t totally ruled out a summer of
lacrosse, noting it would be a fun experi-
ence to play again for the Warriors. But if
he commits to a school for hockey, he will
use the summer to train specifically for
that sport.
The Scoop
The Panthers came out of the Christmas
break with a pair of home ice losses, falling
Tutton a winner in hockey, lacrosse
PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Brodie Tutton, of Courtice, is the leading scorer on
the Ontario Junior Hockey League club. Below, as a member of the Jr. A Minto Cup
winning Whitby Warriors.
7-4 to Buffalo on Friday and blanked 3-0 by
Kingston on Sunday. The loss to Buffalo was
especially disheartening, leading 4-1 just a
minute into the third, only to squander six
unanswered goals to Buffalo ... GM/head
coach Mike Galati was given a match pen-
alty for abuse of officials at the end of the
Buffalo game and was handed a seven game
suspension that he is appealing.
Pickering’s Troy Timpano
shines with U17 hockey team
OSHAWA -- It was a difficult holiday season
on the ice for more than just Scott Laughton.
Although Canada’s fourth-place finish
at the world junior hockey championship in
Sweden has been well documented and dis-
sected, Ontario’s performance at the World
Under-17 Hockey Challenge was equally dis-
appointing.
Ontario, a perennial contender with an
event-best eight gold medals over 22 years,
finished third in its pool with a record of 2-1-
0-1 before downing Sweden 6-3 in the fifth-
place game. The United States won gold 4-0
over Pacific while Russia downed Quebec
6-2 for bronze.
Pickering goalie Troy Timpano picked up
all three wins, with a 2.33 goals-against aver-
age and .911 save percentage.
Laughton, meanwhile, was captain of the
Canadian team that finished out of the med-
als for a second straight year at the under-20
championships.
The 19-year-old Oakville native had
only one assist in seven games, but played
a strong defensive role, was a plus-two and
was a key part of the penalty kill.
Oshawa Generals will have a
different look this weekend
OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Generals will add
some much-needed depth in time for two big
showdowns this weekend.
In addition to welcoming back centre
Scott Laughton from the world junior champi-
onships and rookies Mitchell Vande Sompel
and Sam Harding from the World Under-17
Hockey Challenge, the team has acquired
overage forward Dylan Smoskowitz from the
Mississauga Steelheads in exchange for a
second-round draft pick in 2016.
All four should be in the lineup for games
Friday against the Frontenacs in Kingston
and Sunday at home against the Sudbury
Wolves, their two chief rivals in the OHL’s
Eastern Conference.
Smoskowitz has scored 20 goals and
added nine assists in 40 games this season
with the Steelheads, after putting up 33-22-
55 numbers last season there in 62 games.
Only two current members of the Generals
have hit the 20-goal plateau, Laughton with
24 in 29 games and Michael Dal Colle with
27 in 41 games.
A lack of depth was exposed in the
absence of Laughton.
The Generals (26-11-0-4) managed only
two wins and six points in the eight games
without Laughton and have seen their lead
atop the conference dwindle to just six points
over the Wolves (22-10-3-3) and Frontenacs
(23-12-2-2), who both have games in hand.
The offence, in particular, has dried up,
producing only 18 goals in the eight games,
six of which came in a win over Ottawa.

In Loving Memory ofRonald CameronJune 1934 - January 8, 2013
When God took your handMy whole world fell apartNo one knows the heartacheI try so hard to hideNo one knows the many timesI've broken down and criedWhen I look back upon our livesJust one makes me gladThat you chose me to share with youThe precious years we hadI know you walk beside meAnd when my life is throughI pray that God will take my handAnd lead me straight to you.
Missing you everydayMarilyn
In Memory of
Eileen Kiely
3 years has now passed You are out of sight but never out of my mind
Eileen, it's lonely here without youI miss you more each dayFor life is not the same to meSince you were called away.Loving and kind in all your ways,Upright and just in all your days.Sincere and true in heart and mind,Beautiful memories you left behind.Never a day goes by without tears for you.
Loving husband John
AMTING; Johanna ~ Peacefully on Friday,
January 3, 2014 with her family by her side in
Woodville, ON in her 85th year. Ann Amting
was the beloved wife of the late Theodore
Amting. Loving mother of Corinne Cook (the
late Larry), John (Lynda), Gary (Caroline)
and Ted (Jo). Loved Oma of 10 grandchil-
dren and 4 great grandchildren. Ann will be
sadly missed by her siblings, other relatives
and friends. A Celebration of Life Service will
be held at the Bethel Evangelical Missionary
Church, 70 William Street South, Lindsay,

line donations or condolences may be made

DIBBLE, Patricia Mary (nee Densmore) -
November 15, 1922 - December 30, 2013.
Our dear Aunt Pat passed away peacefully at
the age of 91 at Extendicare Rouge Valley
(Toronto). She was predeceased by her
loving husband Robert G. Dibble, and her
siblings Doris, William, Verna and Norma, her
niece Wendy Fisher, and her niece in law
Sharon Zambri. Dear Aunt of William
(Patricia) Fisher, Christina (William)
Thompson, Cecilia (Richard) Davis and Ted
Zambri. Loving great Aunt of Karen (Rob)
Baird, Laura (Jeff) Fenwick, Erin Thompson,
Matthew (Kelly) Davis, Leah (Ryan) Grey,
Daneya and Nicholas Zambri and great-great
Aunt to Paige, Katherine, Hannah, Duncan

Rouge Valley for all their care and kindness.
At Patricia's request, there will be no

taken place and her ashes will be placed
beside her beloved Bob in the family plot at
St. John's Norway cemetery in Toronto. If

WHITE, David Norman, of Ajax - March 9,
1953 to January 1, 2014, formerly of
Dunbarton and Whitby - father of Timothy
White of Ajax, predeceased by his wife
Teresa Swailes (1990), brother of Maryann of
Wolverhampton, England, and Tim (Anne) of
Ajax, uncle to nephews Daniel and Adam
Burkitt of U.K. and to nephew David and
nieces Suzanne and Lucy of Ajax. Born in
Dunbarton (Pickering) to Norman and Laurel
(nee Aggleton) , he enjoyed his youth there
running the fields and woods, because you
could then, and later after his parents
returned to England he stayed and enjoyed
playing the bass, his partnership with Gord
Balik installing kitchens, his motorcycle,
which Teresa said was a bad idea, and
engaging in general mayhem and mischief.
Dear friend of Tracy and Madison, Burt of
Whitby and of too many long time friends to
possibly list them all, Dave died at Rouge
Valley Ajax hospital after a two month stay
and a few determined breakaway's, one
during our blackout ice storm. But it was a
sunny day and he would have rather been
outside, at home, up north at Combermere,
Greenwood or at the pub. Dave was a great
story teller and had a razor sharp mind to the
end, he was a great fan of history, black and
white movies and could put a spin on even
the driest details to make the history of our
times memorable. Always polite and ready
for conversation, you could make him laugh,
but if you couldn't speak a full sentence and
make good use of the English language you
might have felt his annoyance. He had no
patience for that and he will be surely
missed. Cremation has taken place. Friends
are welcome on Saturday, January 11th,
2014 anytime from noon until you choose to
leave at THE RED LION PUB, the old Royal
Scot, formerly owned by the late Brian
(Barney) Burnett. See you there!
WRIGHT, Robert - Bob passed at home on
December 31st, 2013, in his 81st year.
Beloved husband of Marie. Devoted father of
John, Susan and Cathy. Dear father-in-law of
Sue, Mike and Dick. Proud grandfather to
Robert, Jason, Paul, Michelle, Megan,
Calvin, Zane, Isaac, Andrew, Tami and Ceri.
Great-grandfather to Katie. Stepfather to
Maureen, Dave, Gord, Rob, Heather, Brenda
and uncle to Jason MacNeil. Brother of Alice
(pre-deceased). Former husband to Dorothy.
Bob loved golf, pool, darts, euchre, cottaging
and driving. He and his partner in business,
the late Bruce Hall enjoyed success as
owners of Ideal Wright-Way Cleaning
Supplies. Bob loved people and they loved
him back in spades. His sense of humor
made an appearance in every situation and
circumstance. From early in his life through
his last days, people who knew him (whether
for years or just briefly) felt an immediate
connection to him. He leaves us stronger,
better people. Visitation and Service was
held on Thursday Jan 2nd and Friday Jan
3rd. Condolences may be made online at
McEachnie Funeral Home, Kingston Road,
Ajax (mceachniefuneral.ca). In lieu of flowers,
donations in Bob's memory can be made to
Just4kics - kids in community sports
(www.just4kics.ca) or the Geneva Centre for
Autism (www.autism.net).
