Durham Region sued over water fluoridation Use of compound ‘reckless’ says witness Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It is “reckless” for the Region of Durham to supplement its drinking water supply with flu- oride, an expert witness has testi- fied. “The practice should stop imme- diately,” Dr. Paul Connett said Friday. “I’d stop it tomorrow if I could.” Dr. Connett, who has co-au- thored a book on the issue, was testifying in support of a suit filed in small claims court by Whitby resident Russell Brown. He’s suing the Region to recover the cost of a filtration system he uses to remove fluoride from his drinking water. While the amount of the claim -- about $900 -- is relatively low, the issue it represents is significantly larger: Mr. Brown’s ultimate goal is to coax the Region to stop adding a fluoride compound that he says is a byproduct of fertilizer produc- tion to the community’s drinking water. “It’s to make them accountable,” the 45-year-old father of two said outside an Oshawa courtroom. “This is a toxic waste substance -- it causes harm.” See RESIDENT page 4 Pickering wants your feedback on its budget PICKERING -- The City of Pickering is encouraging local residents to get involved in the upcoming 2014 bud- get process. The new Budgeting Your City campaign invites the public to visit www.pickering.ca/budget to learn more about how the budget works and submit feedback. “It is important that residents become familiarized with the municipal budget so they can better understand where their tax dollars go,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. “I encourage everyone to learn more about the budget process, be heard on this matter and work collabora- tively with the City.” Residents can also register to speak as a delegation at the Feb. 13 budget meeting.

Pickering council has voted to request the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to declare Pickering a disaster area so the City is eligible to apply for provincial aid to help with the ice storm cleanup. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Pickering asks Province for ‘disaster area’ designation Ice storm cleanup expected to total $2.3 million Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The City of Pickering is asking to be designated a “disas- ter area,” in an effort to access fund- ing for ongoing ice storm cleanup. At a special meeting on Jan. 13, Pickering council voted unani- mously to request the minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to declare the city a disaster area, so it can qualify for aid from the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program. “Pickering was hit very hard, this is going to be very costly,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. City staff said the total ice storm cost is estimated at $2.3 million. That breaks down to about $100,000 managing immediate needs the week after the storm, including overtime pay, warming centres and communications. Another $360,000 is currently being spent on short-term cleanup, including hiring contractors and equipment rental. The remaining $1.8 million will be spent in the coming months on stump removal, tree replacement and long-term cleanup. Mayor Ryan said the City “isn’t prepared to discuss” the impact this could have on the 2014 budget, until it is known how much aid will be available.

When she started working there six years ago, there were 9,000 clients on the list. Now it’s up to 15,000. Ms. Fernandes says many people who access the food bank are households with two working adults. “Most people nowadays go from pay- cheque to paycheque and don’t have the savings people used to have years ago,” she notes. “When a crisis happens...like a child is diagnosed with an illness or a company goes down, they have nothing to turn to.” After the ice storm power outages caused many local households to lose all the food in the fridge and freezer, Ms. Fernandes says Simcoe Hall Settlement House received many calls for emergen- cy food. Even though there was the potential for gift cards to be made available in Dur- ham, she says “people just couldn’t wait that long.” Julien LeBourdais, executive director at Feed the Need in Durham, says recent data from the Durham Region Health Department estimates 7.7 per cent of Durham households face food insecuri- ty, which works out to about 50,000 peo- ple. “For every person who goes to a food bank, there’s another person or more than one who is perilously close, they just get by,” he says. “Maybe they have a light meal by the end of the month, they spend right up to their last nickle the day before they get their income.” Mr. LeBourdais says it’s hard to quan- tify this group of people, but says the demand for grocery gift cards in Durham and across the GTA highlights how many households are living close to the edge. The 1,882 grocery gift cards made avail- able to Durham residents by the Province went quickly when phone lines opened Jan. 5. The Region of Durham fielded about 1,100 calls and all the cards were account- ed for just before 5 p.m. Officials said the cards will assist about 700 families and 482 individuals. Fami- lies were eligible for $100, while individ- uals got $50. To qualify residents had to verbally confirm they had been without power for more than 48 hours and were in need of financial assistance to replace spoiled food. Dr. Hugh Drouin, commissioner of social services for the Region, says the process unfolded smoothly. While some people had trouble getting through, once they were in the queue he said the average wait time of eight min- utes was “not too bad.” Dr. Drouin said distribution of the cards the following day on Jan. 10 was also orderly. “People have been very appreciative of how organized the process was,” he noted. He encouraged anyone who is still struggling to replace lost food to access a local food bank or, if they are a current social assistance client, to contact the Region to have their case looked at. The Province’s grocery gift card program saw individuals receive $50 cards and families receive $100. How far does that money go at the grocery store? The Durham Region Health Department’s 2013 Nutritious Food Basket survey says a sample Durham family of four -- two adults, an eight-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy -- would have to spend $172.45 a week to buy groceries needed to sustain a healthy diet. To complete the survey, the health department checked out the cost of 67 perishable and non-perishable food items in nine Durham Region grocery stores. Considering that the gift cards are intended to replace spoiled fridge and freezer food, we checked out the average cost of common perishable items at major grocery store chains in Durham. Here’s a sample of what you could get for $100: 4L of milk ($3.98) 2.65 L of orange juice ($5) 500 grams of cheese ($5.77) One dozen eggs ($2.99) 12 100 gram containers of yogurt ($5.48) 454 grams of butter ($3.97) 1 lb of extra lean ground beef ($4.47) 1.63 litre apple juice ($1.99) 200 grams of sliced lunch meat ($3.96) 890 ml mayonnaise ($3.99) 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts ($3.44) 500 gram box of frozen fish fillets ($9.98) 800 gram box of frozen chicken strips ($7.99) 1.36 kg box of frozen beef burgers ($9.99) 2kg bag of frozen mixed vegetables ($3.47) 360 gram box frozen pizza ($4.99) Two bottles of salad dressing ($3.63) Box of eight frozen waffles ($1.99) 1.5 litre container of ice cream ($4.29) 500 gram sour cream ($1.99) 600 gram bag frozen fruit ($3.99) 142 g container of salad greens ($2.49) Total = $99.84 How far does $100 go at the grocery store?Me t r o l a n d G r a p h i c ‘‘People don’t realize how much struggling there is out there until something like this happens.’ Elizabeth Fernandes /The Band Perry/The Band Perry/The Band Perry We have a pair of tickets to be won to see We have a pair of tickets to be won to see We have a pair of tickets to be won to see The Band Perry at the GM Centre Jan. 29.

Copyright © 2013 Advertorial The disaster relief program helps municipali- ties, private homeowners, farmers, small busi- ness and non-profit organizations replace essential items after a natural disaster. To qualify, the damage must be in a desig- nated disaster area. As of Monday morning, the ministry had received requests from six municipalities to be declared disaster areas -- Brampton, Cale- don, Mississauga, North Perth, Peel and York. Ministry spokesman Richard Stromberg said that number is expected to increase, as several councils had the item on their agen- das this week. He said it’s too soon to estimate how much money might be available to qualifying municipalities, noting there is no set budget for the disaster relief program. Mr. Stromberg also couldn’t say how long it will take for the Province to make disaster zone declarations. “It will depend how quickly (municipalities) can get together the documentation,” he said. To qualify for aid, municipalities must pro- vide detailed documentation of the damage in their community as well as cost estimates. “As part of the application there is signifi- cant criteria to be met, but we feel this is an opportunity that should not be lost,” noted Pickering CAO Tony Prevedel. He said City staff worked through the week- end gathering information, as requests for a disaster area declaration must be submitted to the ministry within 14 working days of the disaster. Mayor Ryan plans to attend a Jan. 17 meet- ing of GTA mayors, to map out a co-ordinated effort for securing funds from the Province. City council votes unanimously to have Pickering declared as ‘disaster area’ CITY from page 1 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 5 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP 48”X36” FRAMELESSGLASS SHOWER DOOR AND BASE On Sale$799 Reg $1495 $399 Reg $699 WALK-IN TUB • 29”wx38” high & the widths are 54 3/4” and also 58 3/4” • 100% acrylic • Theraputic & whirlpool jets • Double Drain systems for fast drain Reg $5995 $2995 On SaleNOW OVER 65SAVEAN ADDITIONAL15%Reg $5,995 On SaleNOW$2,995 60" DARK WALNUT AUSTIN SOLID MAPLE DOVETAIL DRAWERS SOFT CLOSE HINGES *Top Sold Separately On SaleFOR$799 Reg $1,295 39” VANITY, TOP & SINK HOURS: MONDAY-FRIDAY 10-6:30 • SATURDAY & SUNDAY 10-5 DURHAM KITCHEN & BATHJanuary Price Freeze DUAL FLUSHTOILETS On Sale$99 Reg $245 • EXCELLENT FLUSH • LOW WATER COMSUMPTION • WHITE The Intelligent Choice 18" HIGH DUELFLUSH TOILET On Sale$195 Reg $399 1000 GR FLUSH Seat Sold Separately On Sale Where YourStuff WantsTo Be!! 180 Station St. Ajax 905-427-5211 info@firststorage.ca FREEVAN (TO HELP YOU MOVE RIGHT IN) It’s Coming... 1/2 PRICE DAY • SAT.

On Friday, Regional lawyer Rajeshree Sanichara suggested Dr. Con- nett is making unfounded claims about Durham’s water without having data to back those claims up. Dr. Connett said fluoride affects IQ levels in children and can, when ingested in excess, cause dam- age to teeth and bones. “I put it to you that you can’t say the Region of Durham’s water is not safe if you haven’t tested it,” Ms. Sanichara said. But Dr. Connett insisted the benefits of fluoridation -- it’s added to combat tooth decay -- pale in comparison to the health risks. “If you want fluoride, you can brush it on your teeth,” he said. “There is no rea- son to swallow fluoride.” Mr. Brown and his supporters, some of whom are members of Free Durham From Fluoride, came armed with sta- tistics and legislation they say support their claim that Durham’s fluoridation program is in contravention of the Safe Drinking Water Act. What they lacked in polish -- Mr. Brown was represented by Robert Fleming, a former police officer who stepped in at the last moment to conduct the case -- they made up for with earnestness. Dep- uty Judge W. Mark Burch repeatedly and patiently reminded Mr. Fleming to stick to the question at hand: Has Mr. Brown made out his case that he has suffered damages for which he ought to be com- pensated? The Region has yet to present reply evi- dence. The trial resumes in May.

A 37-year-old Pickering man com- plained of injuries after being arrested near an Oshawa men’s hostel Sunday afternoon. Police said he was picked up for breaching a court order not to drink alco- hol. He was taken from the holding cells in Oshawa to hospital where he was found to be suffering from several broken bones. The SIU, which investigates injuries or deaths involving police, has begun an investigation into the incident.

Why? Why is our tax money going to pay teachers to teach languages that should be either taught in the home or paid for by the parents? This is not something new. School boards have been doing this for years. As far as I know the two official lan- guages of Canada are English and French. Any other languages should not be taught in our schools. School children are forever having fundraisers for one thing or another. The school boards are always crying poverty. Well, stop spending money on these lan- guage courses and use the extra money for the necessities. Marjorie Seymour Pickering Get informed on Durham fluoridation debate There’s a case going on in small claims court in Durham Region that might seem trivial (the amount at issue is $900) but the impact is potentially much larger. A Durham resident is suing the Region of Durham over fluoride, the substance the Region adds to our water supply to help prevent tooth decay. Whitby resident Russell Brown is trying to recoup the cost of a filtration system he uses to remove fluoride from his drinking water. Mr. Brown and his supporters, some of whom are members of Free Durham From Fluoride, came armed with statistics and legislation they say support their claim that Durham’s fluoridation program is in contravention of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Mr. Brown would like to see Durham stop the practice of adding flouride to the water supply. While the case is ongoing and won’t resume again until the spring when the Region will present its case, the issue is one residents may want to decide for themselves. Flouride is added to drinking water to help prevent cavities. You can also get fluoride in mouth rinses and toothpastes and it can even be found in the soil, some water sources naturally and in some foods. Opponents of it say it can be harmful in high doses, causing discoloured teeth, arthritis, cancer and brain effects. Others, including Health Canada and the Canadian Dental Association, say the small doses used in water are needed to prevent tooth decay and aren’t known to lead to serious health issues. Health Can- ada says the optimal amount in water for benefits is 0.7 milligrams per litre of water. Before coming to any conclusions, res- idents should educate themselves about this issue, seeking out information from all sides, looking into the available data and the positive and negative aspects of fluoride in our municipal water systems. Do your research and make your deci- sions. If you don’t like the idea of fluoride in your water, consider a filtration system. You can also use toothpastes without flu- oride. e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com A smorgasbord of projects in 2014 Food, local heroes, places to hike, a peek into our past, stories of inspiration, voices of the terminally ill, sounds like a smorgasbord of interests for various magazines. But they are all topics for various special projects our journalists, editors, and pho- tographers are taking on in 2014. As 2013 came to a close, we started thinking about what we could do differently in 2014 to appeal to the wide interest of our readers and allow our staff to stretch and go beyond their normal day-to-day coverage. Each was asked to provide an idea, something that interests them and would grab their attention. From those ideas sprang forward our 2014 special projects. For example, always a foodie, reporter Jil- lian Follert was smart and said she wanted to sample various specialty dishes at inde- pendent restaurants. You can read about her findings weekly in paper and online. Page editor Al Rivett is asking for your help to highlight local heroes, those people who go above and beyond in our lives. Each week a local hero will be highlighted. Copy editor Judi Bobbitt will be focusing on 12 people who have inspirational stories to tell. Think of it as mini people profiles packing a powerful message. Videographer Leeanna McLean has gone into our archives to find photos from the past. We’ll run them and try to find out where the subject of the photos are now. Then, if possible, we’ll try to re-create the photo with the same people. Over the next year you’ll also see ebooks on numerous subjects, in-depth investiga- tive stories and a few projects which will take some of our staff overseas. When you include the municipal election and a possible provincial election, 2014 is shaping as another busy year. So much for the decline of community newspapers. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston has booked his first trip in 24 years in which he has to board an airplane.

Like the first time I discovered the writings of Emer- son, or listened to a recording of Martin Luther King Jr., or when I realized that, while waffle batter was way harder to make than pancake batter, if you just pour pancake bat- ter into the waffle maker, nobody can tell the difference. Those moments are important and they usually alter my existence in some pro- found way. I both love and hate moments like those. Because, while they inevitably enlighten me, they simultaneously cast light on the ugly truth that I am nowhere near as clever as I think I am. In the pantheon of Great Thinkers, I am the guy sitting in the back row, drawing boobs in his notebook. One of the elemental requisites for writing a newspaper column is that you need to have something to say. A corollary of which is that you need to believe that what you have to say is actually worth reading, that you know of which you speak and that others will possi- bly benefit from it. This requires a fairly large dollop of confidence or, depending on how you want to look at it, self-delusion. Most days I’m able to keep the charade going quite effortlessly. But then, I will read or watch or hear something truly seminal or perhaps I’ll just catch myself doing some- thing stupid or petty and in less time than it takes to say ‘The emperor’s new clothes’, I will be completely unmasked as the dim-witted, shallow-minded charlatan I must certainly be. At times such as those, I am convinced an angry, torch-carrying mob will be pound- ing on my door at any moment, demanding recompense for their time and effort wasted in scanning through my drivel. Over the years I have received countless letters, e-mails, notes and handshakes from remarkably kind people who have taken the time to let me know something I wrote meant something to them. I have also been on the receiving end of a thankfully smaller but no less valuable number of less happy responses to my work. People who have taken the time to let me know something I wrote meant nothing to them. Believe it or not, both ends of the spectrum are equally important to me. I have a file on my comput- er, labelled ‘Joy’, that is filled with wonder- fully positive feedback from readers. I might as well have labelled it ‘Oxygen’ given how many times I find myself dipping in there for health reasons. I could just as easily have filled another file with all of those lesser pos- itive reactions to my ideas. This one would be labeled ‘Reality’ and might come in very handy when I begin to think a little too high- ly of myself. Responses from my readers are guide- posts, reminders, hands in the small of my back and slaps up the side of my head. They are an enormously necessary piece of the communication equation and they are pre- cious to me. I love this job and this process. For all of its emotional challenges, its ups and downs and its skin-thickening vulner- ability, it pays me back in spades. And while I clearly am not the smartest writer in the world...I am certainly among the luckiest. Thank you, sincerely, for reading. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 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 5 , 2 0 1 4 7 10 Canadian prime ministers APThe Toronto Maple Leafs are slumping and have fallen quickly in the standings in recent weeks.

Here’s what the chatter was about on this issue of disposing of broken glass: Tammy Leroux: I didn’t know the correct way to dispose of broken glass so I always wrapped it in newspaper and taped it closed and then threw it in the trash. Will do it correctly from now on... I’d feel ter- rible if someone was injured. 10. John Diefenbaker 9. Brian Mulroney 8. Robert Borden 7. Louis St. Laurent 6. Jean Chretien 5.

BEHIND THE LENS GREENBANK -- As I stood freezing at the side of Hwy. 47 waiting to create a photo to illustrate a story about road and weath- er conditions, I gazed across a field to the southwest. The sun was setting over a wind- swept field. The ball of the sun was just vis- ible through the clouds and the warm glow above belied the extreme, minus-37 wind- chill on the ground below. January 7, 2014. CELIA KLEMENZ cklemenz@durhamregion.com Peggy Hamilton: I put bro- ken bottles in a cardboard box and taped it shut mak- ing it very secure, ‘broken glass’ was written in black magic marker all over the box in big letters and placed on top on my garbage bags. The garbage man opened the box, then LEFT IT THERE ............. what the hell ...........I did everything I was suppose to and they didn’t take it. Lisa Ibanez: My husband picks up apartments, con- dos and commercial units in Durham Region. From what I understand, if you live/work in one of these you are do do the same thing. You would be shocked what he has found in these clearly marked big blue Bins on wheels... Dead animals(cats and small dogs), appliances, car parts ect. He has also been stabbed in the hand through his work glove with a needle. He loves his job and has been doing it for 9 years but it real- ly would be great if people would read the labels that are on these bins. Tammie McGann-Trumbull: I always put my broken glass in the recycling I dont know if this is right or not but I figure its better then in a tied up bag that a worker has no chance of seeing it .At least in the hard recycling bin they wont grab ahold of it and slice their hand open I know garbage men who could never work again because of this. Maria Edeliza Gagui: If I broke a glass,before putting it on the garbage I put it in an empty can or another glass big enough to hold the broken one.I do this for my own safety and safety of others. 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 5 , 2 0 1 4 8 P IT’S FREE!Sign up today at www.wagjag.com Save up to 95% brought to you by your trusted hometown Metroland Newspapers Oshawa•Whitby•Clarington News Advertiser T H E The News Since 1866Since1869Since1970 Since 1991Since1965 Satisfy your ‘za cravings $12 for 2 Medium,3-Topping Pizzas and Cheesy Bread at Domino’s Pizza (a $27 Value)-Choose from 7 Locations Available at participating locations: •Brooklin:200 Carnwith Dr.E •Cobourg:2 Strathy Rd. •Lindsay:351 Kent St.W •Bowmanville:100 MearnsAve. •Whitby:1525 Dundas St.E. •Oshawa:602 Grandview St. •Oshawa:1383Wilson Rd.N 56%DISCOUNT SAVE $15 The wear-it-100-plus ways, reversible, one-of-a-kind transformer convertible infinity dress $39 for aTransformer Convertible Infinity Dress that can be Worn in 100+Ways (a $250 Value) Visit www.wrapmagicskirts.com to see all the ways you can wear this dress. 84%DISCOUNT you can wear this dress.

Te lecommunications and related facilities are regulated by the Federal Government (specifically Industry Canada) under the Radiocommunications Act.Proponents of wireless facilities are required to consult with local governments and the public as part of the approval process for proposed antenna installations prior to construction.Industry Canada encourages local governments to develop their own protocols,for the consideration of antenna system installations, because of their local knowledge and because local governments are very well qualified to explain to proponents the particular amenities, sensitivities, planning priorities and other relevant characteristics of their municipality. In response, the City Development Department has prepared a draft protocol for Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems (Cell To wer Protocol) which was presented to City Council on December 9, 2013. City Council has provided direction to the City Development Department to seek input from the residents of Pickering and other stakeholders on the draft protocol. A copy of the draft protocol and feedback form is available at the City’s website pickering.ca/CTP. The deadline to submit comments is January 31, 2014.

Working in conjunc- tion with Durham Hospice, we will pro- file people who are nearing the end of life’s journey, who they are, what they want peo- ple to know and remember about them. We will also be featuring the people and vol- unteers associated with Durham Hospice, the active role they take, the training, the frinedships and emotions involved. DURHAM -- Helping people. Simple in its principle, but compounded by the nature of the work performed by the volunteers of Durham Hospice. It’s certainly not for everyone -- entering the lives of virtual strangers who are ter- minally ill, helping family members cope with the final stages of life of a loved one, or providing support for those who are griev- ing through one-on-one or group bereave- ment. Compassion and understanding are just a couple of the key qualities that the dedicat- ed group of volunteers possess. They put a lot into what they do. What they get out of it is very fulfilling. “I’m not a counsellor. I’ve had some train- ing and because I’ve lost my spouse, I’m pretty sensitive to the whole issue of losing someone close to you,” says Mark Wheat- ley, who helps clients with the bereavement process. “I see myself as a person who gives other people an opportunity to tell their story and to listen. “I’m very care- ful about offering advice but if I do, it’s only from my own experience.” Mr. Wheatley’s involvement with Durham Hospice has evolved from being a client to a volun- teer. The Bowmanville resident lost his wife of 27 years to cancer in 2009, and joined the local chapter to help cope with the griev- ing process. A year later he was asked if he would be interested in taking a course centred around bereavement and coming on board as a volunteer. Open to learning something new, but not particularly inter- ested in volunteering at the time, he com- pleted the 40 hours of training. After some consideration, he agreed to work with cli- ents on a one-on-one basis, which eventu- ally lead into heading up group sessions on an annual basis. “It helps me with my own grief to listen to other people’s stories,” says Mr. Wheat- ley who, after three years of being on his own, remarried at the end of 2013. “It helps in my own journey of grief. Obviously it’s not something that I will ever get over. I’ve learned to live with it, but I don’t think I will ever get over it.” Catherine Huppe has been volunteering with Durham Hospice for eight years, using her own personal experiences with family members as motivation to join. Her moth- er and sister died within a 14-day period of each other, and with them living out west, she was unable to be there for them. “My greatest disappointment was that I was really unable to do anything for or with them because of distance, job and family obligations,” says the Brooklin resident. When her father became ill, she moved to British Columbia to be with him for five months. “It was just the greatest experience,” she recalls, adding that when she returned home, she contacted Durham Hospice to inquire about becoming a vol- unteer. “I encountered hospice -- we didn’t need it until the very end -- I was so impressed with the organization,” she says of the assis- tance they provided during her dad’s final days. “The whole capacity to care about the dignity of dying and dying at home where most people tend to want to be.” Six months later she began her training, and in the summer of the same year was matched with her first client, providing caregiver relief for someone who was ter- minally ill. The length of time she spends with each client varies, some very short, while another, because of the advancement of treatments, is still living five years later. “It’s been a wonderful experience,” she says of her involvement. “It’s worthwhile work. It’s amazing work. “When you’re accompanying someone on the final miles of life’s journey, most of what they want to do, sometimes, not always, some are very private, they want to validate their life. They want it to make sense or have meaning.” Holding a hand, just listening, or laughing along when the moment is right helps build the bond and trust that develops. “I’m invited into the home, there’s a great deal of trust there for people to accept you into their home in the last stages of life,” says Ms. Huppe. “You’re providing companion- ing and presence for the person who is ill and it depends on where they are in their journey.” That trust factor is also essential in deal- ing with grief after death, as building a rap- port with a client or group forms quickly because of the similar situations Mr. Wheat- ley finds himself in. “If I’m sharing some pretty meaningful stuff, it opens them up and allows them to trust,” he says of the bond that develops. “The biggest service that Durham Hospice offers in the bereavement side is the oppor- tunity for people to tell their story. They can tell it over and over, and each time that they share it, they feel much better about them- selves and are able to carry on.” Volunteers play vital role DURHAM -- They are a vital function to the overall operation of Durham Hospice. Dawnette Hoo-Hing, the acting execu- tive director of Durham Hospice, located in Whitby, recognizes the importance volun- teers play in her organization. A dedicated group of more than 200 offer caring and support to individuals, families, friends and caregivers who are experiencing illness, death or grief. “Our volunteers are the most important resource to Durham Hospice. We could not succeed without them,” says Ms. Hoo-Hing. “They provide an enormous positive impact on the families they touch. “Because of these special individuals we are able to provide support throughout the entire Durham Region community. Whether it is by volunteering as a board member, administrative, bereavement, palliative care, bingo, or community awareness, the role is important. All volunteers receive the Durham Hospice orientation while those that provide direct support to clients receive eight weeks of intensive training. “Durham Hospice volun- teers are very special. It takes a unique indi- vidual with commitment, warmth and com- passion to provide support for someone who is dying and their families. We currently have over 200 volunteers and are always looking to welcome new volunteers to the Durham Hospice family. Last year, we touched many lives and we are confident that in 2014 Dur- ham Hospice will reach even more families and raise our awareness in the community.” Durham Hospice is at 1650 Dundas St E, Unit 201, in Whitby.

Toronto men arrested after Durham stores ripped off Pair had $10,000 worth of electronics, police say DURHAM -- Two Toronto men were arrested last week after fraudulent credit cards were used to buy electronic items. Durham Regional Police were called to a store in Ajax on Friday, Jan. 10 at about 3 p.m. and saw a man leaving the store with an Apple brand product. Officers arrested the man and an accomplice in a nearby vehicle. Police received information that the two suspects had been at stores in Oshawa and Whitby. During the arrests, the officers found 11 Apple iPad Air devices and two Apple Mac- Book laptops, collectively worth $10,000. Liming Gao, 26 of Village Green Square in Toronto, and Sai Lu, 20 of Weir Crescent in Toronto have each been charged with fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, conspiracy to commit an indict- able offence and laundering the proceeds of a Canadian crime. ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham 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 5 , 2 0 1 4 12 P Extended holiday over for Durham West Jr. Lightning Earn three of four points in return to league play Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The holidays turned into a lengthy sabbatical for the Durham West Jr. Light- ning. With the Provincial Women’s Hockey League taking a break over Christmas and New Year’s, the Lightning extended it by a week, giving its players some extra time off before the regular season enters its final stages. With their last game on Dec. 21, the Lightning returned to the ice this past weekend, earning three of four points with a 2-1 win in Waterloo on Saturday and a 3-2 overtime loss on home ice to Stoney Creek on Sunday. The long layoff obviously didn’t have any side effect on the success the Lightning are having this season. “We know it’s a grind after the holiday break,” said head coach Jeremy Murphy. “We had a couple of good practices but there was definitely a bit of rust this week- end, particularly in the first game. “Overall the rest was good and should pay off in the long run.” Both weekend games had a dramatic finish to them, the Lightning scoring with just five seconds left in Saturday’s game to get the win. On Sunday, Stoney Creek tied the game with the goalie pulled and just 38 seconds left in the game, and then won it just over a minute into overtime on a power play. Emily Jukosky had both goals in Satur- day’s win, opening the scoring in the first on the power play, and then answering a third-period goal by Waterloo by potting the winner with just five seconds remain- ing. “I thought Saturday we really controlled that game,” said Murphy. “We felt really good about that one, even late, so when we got one it was obviously good, but it was one of those games where we felt if we kept doing what we were doing we would get rewarded and we did.” That luck didn’t carry over to the Ajax Com- munity Centre on Sunday afternoon. Ken- nedy Marchment opened the scoring and Becki Bowering put the Lightning back up 2-1 in the second. But the Lightning gave up the tying goal in the final minute with Stoney Creek pulling the goalie for an extra attacker. After a penalty to Marchment just 26 seconds into overtime, the Lightning surrendered a power-play goal just 53 sec- onds later for a 3-2 final. “I thought there were a lot of penalties in the third period especially and it took the flow out of the game for us and them,” said Murphy. The Lightning had a stretch of killing 28 of the past 29 penalties, and were a perfect eight for eight in that department against Stoney Creek before the winner was scored in overtime. The three points improved the Lightning to 17-4-2-2 on the season, putting them in fifth place, with just five points separating the top five teams. “It’s shaping up to go right down to the wire,” said Murphy of the logjam at the top of the standings. “This month we play a few of those teams so they will be big games in determining where we end up in that top group.” The Lightning are in Leaside on Wednes- day, host Mississauga on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Ottawa on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 AJAX -- Durham West Lightning’s Hayley Flynn tried to get a handle of the puck dur- ing Provincial Women’s Hockey League action against Stoney Creek at the Ajax Community Centre Sunday afternoon.

Many teams from across Ontario com- peted in the event, including Clarington Swim Club, Cobra Swim Club, Crescent Town Swim Club, Lindsay Lightning Bolts Swim Club, Newmarket Stingrays, Rocky Island Swim Club, Swim Apex Aquatic Club, Toronto Olympium Swim Club, Variety Village Aquatic Club, and Whitby Dolphins. Pickering swimmers paved the way with 641 personal best times and a total of 4245.61 seconds slashed as a team.

BLAKELEY, Agnes - After a long, fulfilling life, it is with sadness the Blakeley/Gardiner family announces the passing of our Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma in her 88th year on Saturday January 11, 2014. She is now reunited and dancing with her beloved husband John (d. 1978); and her sister "my Maggie" (d. 1952). Agnes was an amazing person admired and loved by so many. Our family matriarch and "Queen" will be missed by her 3 children Anne Gardiner (Kevin), Peter (Carol), and David (Leesa); 8 grandchildren Daniel (Michelle), Rebecca (Jordon), John Adam (Anne Marie), Bailey (Jordan), Jade (Chris), Scotland (Cody), Sean and Alison; 3 great-grandchildren Matthew, Emily, River, and soon to arrive Olivia. She was a special and loving "Aunty" to Mary and Jim Caley, Kathleen and John Stephen and their families. Agnes was a longtime resident of Pickering, living in homes she and John built together, and later of Ajax. She was a woman of great faith and touched the lives of many, leaving a wonderful legacy in her family and friends. Mom, you taught us the importance of living life in the moment as you lived with Alzheimer's disease; and that the quality rather than the quantity of time is what counts. We are comforted with our many special memories and the fact that she is part of who we are, and she lived and loved well. A heartfelt thanks to the wonderful, caring and exceptional staff at the Village of Taunton Mills, Whitby where our Mom resided for the past 5 years. On Wednesday January 15, 2014 at the ACCETTONE FUNERAL HOME, 384 Finley Ave, Ajax, a visitation will be held from 11:00am-2:00pm followed by a service celebrating Agnes's life at 2:00pm. Interment will follow at Erskine Cemetery, Pickering. Light refreshments and sandwiches will be served during the visitation. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Hospital for Sick Kids or the Alzheimer's Society. Messages of condolence may be placed at www.ajaxfuneralhome.ca HAENEN, Paul - It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Paul on January 8, 2014. He will be forever remembered by his loving wife Krista Haenen (Rancic), his mother & father Marij & Bart Haenen, his mother-in-law & father in- law Sharon & Rad Rancic, his sister Chantal Haenen, his sister in-law & brother in-law Steph & Nick Ricciotti, his nieces Selina & Priscilla Haenen, his loyal dog Moose and all his extended family and friends. Forever in our hearts. The family will receive friends at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old Kingston Road, Pickering Village, (Ajax), 905 428-8488 on Thursday January 16 from 2-4 and 7-9pm. A memorial service will be held on Friday January 17 at 11am in the chapel of the funeral home. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to a charity of choice.
