His father’s final wish was to donate his body to science. The family was told after his death that he didn’t meet the criteria, which the family says was never explained to them. His body was eventually accepted by the University of Toronto. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Emery Mourant A dying man’s wish Pickering man wanted body donated to science: Science said no Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It was Emery Mou- rant’s dying wish that his body be donated to science. It never occurred to the Pickering man, or his family, that science might not want him. Mr. Mourant died of cancer on July 11 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa at the age of 69. His son Robert Mourant says the family did not make plans for a funeral, instead saying their final goodbyes in the hospital room. They were shocked to learn, hours after Emery’s death, that his body didn’t meet the criteria for donation to science.

Pickering is getting $2.5 million in gas tax funds for 2014 -- half this summer and the other half in November. “The federal gas tax has been a great windfall for the municipality,” says Stan Karwowski, the City’s divi- sion head of finance and treasurer. He says the money helps the City cover basic infrastructure projects such as road restoration, as well as invest up front in energy efficient technology. “That generates energy savings that save the taxpayers money,” Mr. Karwowski notes. Projects that will receive funding from this year’s gas tax allocation include: See GAS page 4 newsdurham Facebook followers name favourite patios DURHAM -- The newsdurham Facebook page posted this ques- tion: “What a beautiful morning!

Durham girls get scientific UOIT campers present inventions to panel Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- From a cup that will heat up coffee with the simple press of a but- ton to a fabric from which stains can be removed with a spray of water, girls at a UOIT science camp have plenty of ideas on how to make the world more conve- nient. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s Science Magic camp, which ran in early July, focused on sci- ence, technology and engineering spe- cifically for girls aged eight to 13. The camp is just one of a wide range of pro- grams that run through the university each summer. “I like that you get to explore new thoughts and see new things,” said Isa- bell Hoag, a Grade 4 student at Sir Albert Love Public School. Campers participated in activities that included science experiments, eco-art and drama and multimedia productions, as well as indoor and outdoor activities they can do at home or in their backyard. “We are trying to create a population of girls who are going to go into sci- ence and technology in the future,” said Rachel Purcell, a teacher and councillor at the camp. They created a number of products throughout the week, and then focused on one. In a fashion similar to the hit television show Dragons’ Den, they pitched their ideas to a panel of judges consisting of professors and instructors from UOIT and Durham College. Anjali Mohammed, a Grade 7 student at Sir John A. Macdonald in Pickering, invented a mug that heats and cools bev- erages and allows people to add milk, cream, water, sugar or sweetener with the press of a button. “I love it,” she said of the camp. “This is my second year. I’m really into science, so it’s just fun.” Maya Sinha, a Grade 5 student at Blais- dale Montessori School, came up with a fabric that “takes out 98 per cent of stains” with a spray of water. “I like it because it’s just really cool and there’s a lot to learn about it,” she said of her own interest in science. Other inventions included a remote control frisbee, a box that always pro- duces wifi and a swim-up barbecue. “They did a fantastic job,” said Laura Benninger, a professor in science and engineering at Durham College, who was one of the panelists. She would like to see more females involved in science, technology, engi- neering and math, and thought the Drag- ons’ Den-style event was a great idea. “Often times, by the time girls get to this age, they’ve already decided they don’t like science,” said Sheila Rhodes, an instructor who is also a professor in UOIT’s faculty of education. Ms. Rhodes, the driving force behind the unique camps at UOIT, said many girls tend to like experiments where they can solve problems that will help others, rather than just following a step-by-step process. “We really try to focus on real world problems as well,” she said. The campers, for example, collected water from a stream and had to come up with a method to purify it -- just one of the challenges they were given through- out the week. There are still spots open at UOIT sum- mer camps. Visit education.uoit.ca/ about/summer-camps-kids to register or for more information.

Pickering to mark 100th anniversary of First World War Wreath-laying ceremony planned for July 28, park garden to be dedicated Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- It has been many years since Pickering last had a living veteran of the First World War. With no one left to offer first-hand memories, it falls to the next generations to keep history alive. “They are not here anymore to tell us,” says Myrna Picotte, first vice-president at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 in Pickering. “Even the Second World War veterans are now in their 90s. We have to make sure we never forget.” On July 28, the City of Pickering and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. An event is planned for 10:45 a.m. at Esplanade Park and will include a parade, wreath-laying ceremony and a City dedication of a small garden in the park. Other events will take place across Canada this summer to mark 100 years since the outbreak of war in 1914 and remember the 650,000 Canadian men and women who served. Canada’s last surviving veteran of the First World War died in 2010 at the age of 109. “It was a terrible, terrible war,” Ms. Picotte says. “And today we still have terrible wars. History repeats itself. We need to have these events, to learn from what happened.” For more information: visit www.pickering.ca PiCKERiNG -- Myrna Picotte, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 606 1st vice- president, with several wartime artifacts.

Jason Liebregts / Metroland Police Cocaine, cash and car seized in Pickering drug bust PICKERING -- Cocaine, cash and a car have been seized by cops conducting a drug investigation in Pickering. The bust came after a two-week surveil- lance period, dur- ing which officers watched a suspect conduct drug deals with a number of custom- ers, Dur- ham police said. On July 18 cops executed a search warrant at an Abbey Road residence, seizing drugs including cocaine and steroids as well as cash and drug paraphernalia. Police also seized a 2008 Lexus, valued at $50,000, as proceeds of crime. Michael Kavaratzis, 25, of Abbey Road in Pickering faces charges includ- ing possession for the purpose of traf- ficking. 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 • Ju l y 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 4 P www.whitby.ca/harbourday •905.430.4310 •parks.rec@whitby.ca Mayor Perkins and Members of Council invite you to celebrate...Harbour Day Saturday, July 26, 2014 Port Whitby Marina - Parking at Whitby Go Station 301 Watson Street, Whitby 905.668.1900 •New - The Dragon Boat Experience!

Pickering has received $17.8 million in gas tax funding over the past nine years. Projects undertaken in 2013 included road resurfacing, 2,275 square metres of sidewalk repairs and roof replacements at the Petti- coat Creek community centre and fire ser- vices headquarters. The gas tax fund has evolved over the years. In 2008 it was doubled from $1 billion to $2 billion a year, and in 2011 it was legislated as a permanent source of funding. This year new categories were added, allowing municipalities to use the money for a wider range of projects. Examples of areas gas tax funds can be spent on include drinking water, public tran- sit, local roads and bridges, disaster mitiga- tion, highways, brownfield redevelopment and projects supporting culture, tourism, sports and recreation.

Q & A Ajax student earns TD scholarship valued at up to $70,000 over four years AJAX -- An Ajax High School student has received one of the largest scholarship in all of Canada. Francis Asheri (Asajile)’s TD Scholarship for Community Leadership includes up to $10,000 for tuition each year, $7,500 for living expenses, an offer of paid summer employment, mentorship opportunities and invitations to annual gatherings, net- working opportunities and events. The student trustee with the Durham District School Board will pursue a bach- elor’s degree in business administration starting in September at Sir Wilfred Laurier University. Francis is involved in a number of extra- curricular activities, including founding a program called EmpowerME Mentoring, which pairs Grade 9 students with Grade 12s who help guide them through interac- tive workshops to foster character devel- opment, and improve social and academic performance. He wrote an essay and passed through a rigorous interview process for the scholar- ship. The News Advertiser asked Francis to answer five questions. Q: Where were you when you found out you had received the scholarship? A: I found out the news while running a school event at the Ajax Community Cen- tre. The night of the call I received a few prank calls so when the call actually came in, I almost didn’t pick it up. When I picked up the phone around 10 p.m., the voice on the other side said “Francis ... You’ve just won one of the largest scholarships in all of Canada...” To that I repeated “No ... Is this a joke ... please don’t play some sick practical joke ... oh my gosh ... You’re seri- ous?” Needless to say, I called my mom, she picked me up and we shared a car ride home full of tears. In my life thus far, that night stands as the most vivid event I’ve ever experienced. Q: What qualities or characteristics do you think helped you get the scholar- ship? A: I have always viewed failure as more of a tool than a poor outcome. Whether it was in school or in my extracurricular life, I have always believed that pushing yourself to one’s limits and not being suc- cessful is the greatest thing a person can do for self development. During my high school career there have been many situ- ations in which I was not successful but it was those attempts that gave me the confi- dence and the ability to keep trying. I am a firm believer that failure is the only path to success. Like what I always tell my friends and peers, “Failure is your friend.” It is this quality above all others that I believe helped me get this scholarship. I embrace failure with open arms. Q: Who is your greatest inspiration and why? A: When my mother came to Canada in 1999, I was only three years old and could not understand the task she was embark- ing on and how she would inspire me. As I grew into a young adult, I watched as my mom worked double shift after double shift to carve out a life for her and her children. My mother brought myself and my three siblings off the path to poverty and into an ideal western lifestyle with all the bells and whistles my peers had. Her almost super- human work ethic showed me the impor- tance of working for anything you’re pas- sionate about. She helped me understand that there is no greater weapon than hard work and determination, and I plan on using these tools to make my dreams into a reality. Q: Where do you see yourself five years from now? A: In five years I hope to have established my public-speaking organization “Tough- Tears” and to be travelling from school to school Canada-wide delivering its intend- ed message. In addition, I hope to be work- ing a job within my chosen field of work, whether that ends up being finance, mar- keting, etc. In all honesty, I understand that life is full of unpredictable variables. Two years ago I could not have known I’d be where I am today. Above all career ambitions in five years I simply want to be fighting the good fight; whatever that is to me at the time. In essence, in five years I want to be happy. Q: What are some of your hobbies, inter- ests, outside of school? A: Apart from school, my hobbies and interests including playing the guitar, sing- ing, writing music, reading, weightlifting and dancing. In the last year or so, I have also been on a quest to better myself per- sonally. This includes reading books such as The Wealthy Barber and Seven Hab- its of a Highly Effective Teen in hopes that it equips me with valuable skills for the future. “Let’s find solutions together” AJAX-by appt. only 905-619-1473 50 Commercial Ave. COBOURG - by appt. only 905-372-4744 24 Covert St. www.jamesryanch.com Oshawa215SimcoeSt.N.•905-721-7506 F R E E eB o o k s a t d u r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Francis Asheri (Asajile) Tim Whittaker - Publisher • Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief • Mike Johnston - Managing Editor • Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising • Deb McDonald - Sales Manager Eddie Kolodziejcak - Classiﬁ ed Advertising Manager • Abe Fakhourie - Distribution Manager • Lillian Hook - Ofﬁ ce Manager • Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

In 2007, I, along with others, did a town hall meeting to stop funding cuts to men- tal health at Lakeridge Health. There were quite a number of us there, including MPPs and union leaders. My brother-in-law died of suicide at age 51. Suicide doesn’t discern between age, gender, race, or class. Some people look at suicide as being selfish. You can’t. You have to look at it from the point of view that the person is not in the right state of mind. Suicide isn’t a fear of death, it’s a fear of life. I believe that you should report those who die by suicide. It’s a stigma that must be erased. The good news is that the Province didn’t cut mental health funding to Lak- eridge Health. The bad news is that men- tal illness still affects 20 per cent of the population. That’s one in five people. Paul Taylor Mosquitoes suck the life out of summer There is nothing that irritates me more in this world than one of the smallest flying insects on our planet. I have no idea what role the aggravating mos- quito plays in our ecosystem except that it has simply been put on this planet to annoy me. Case in point, about two weeks ago my son and I had to leave a golf driving range because the mos- quitoes were so bad I couldn’t even look down at my ball without one landing on some part of my body. But my surrender to the obnoxious insect came full circle a few weekends ago. My wife and I have been looking at different ways to stay active this summer and decided to try out the various trails reporter Kristen Calis has been high- lighting in her popular On The Trail feature that runs every month. On a recent Saturday morning we got up early, and headed to East Cross Forest Trail about 20 min- utes north of our house. We found the parking lot easy enough and even the sign warning about bears being active in the area didn’t distract us. But, about three minutes into the walk, even though we were covered head to feet in bug spray, we turned around and went back to the car. The mosquitoes were too much. It was like I was walking through a loud test pattern. The buzzing didn’t stop. The bugs won that battle, driving us out of Scugog. We still wanted some exercise so we headed to the paved trail along the Bowmanville Creek, where we didn’t encounter one mosquito and ended the walk on the patio at the Village Inn. Now that was an enjoyable walk. The question remains though, how do other peo- ple walk these areas with the nagging insect pounc- ing every minute to draw blood? Is there a best time to walk a trail? And what’s your secret to fighting the scourge of the planet? Do you have a surefire way to keep the little bloodsuckers at bay? I, and I’m sure thousands of others, need to know. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston readily admits he is a wimp when it comes to the teeny, tiny mosquito. Mike Johnston Managing Editor Unhappy Trails Honouring Pickering man’s final wishes Donating one’s body after death for medical research is a noble thing to do, but the rules about which bodies will be accepted and which won’t be need to be made crystal clear to families. Emery Mourant, a Pickering resident, died on July 11 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa and his dying wish was that his body be donat- ed to science. However neither Mr. Mourant nor his family ever thought that his body might be rejected. But that’s what happened. Hours after he died, his stunned family learned that Mr. Mourant’s body didn’t meet the criteria. The family, already undergoing a hard and emotional time, was then faced with the stress of trying to fulfil Mr. Mourant’s last wish. The University of Toronto eventually accepted Mr. Mourant’s body. His body was initially rejected because, the family was told, there is a 200-pound weight ceiling and Mr. Mourant weighed about 212 pounds when he died. There were also concerns that he had mild edema. His son, Robert Mourant, says no one had ever been told about the criteria for donat- ing a body. He wants to see more done to educate those who would make a whole- body donation so that no family ever has to experience what his did. Our reporter in researching this story found it extremely difficult to find someone to explain clearly what people need to do to make a whole-body donation. That’s a red flag for us, as our staffers are experienced at finding things out. So add two or three lev- els of difficulty for a member of the general public. It doesn’t help that “whole body bequethal” is under the jurisdiction of med- ical schools which, in the GTA, includes the University of Toronto, McMaster University in Hamilton and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Each sets its own cri- teria and has the right to refuse a body. On one hand, it’s incumbent on the poten- tial body donor to do some homework in advance and communicate with family. However the vast majority of people assume there are no issues with making a whole-body donation, so those who would accept a body for medical research need to reach out and make sure people are aware of the criteria -- and that they are not the same at all medical schools. No doubt, this is a very delicate subject. But if handled in a sensitive manner, the medical schools could obtain more bodies for research that would help the living while ensuring families are aware that there is no guarantee a body will be accepted. Decency, decorum: Seniors can teach us a thing or two n this light-speed, sound bite, point-and- click world we live in, it’s sometimes easy to get frustrated with seniors. They tend to move, drive and talk slowly. They have an exasperating affinity for paying with exact change and they can be reticent to embrace all the new technologies that let the rest of us chase our own tails so very quickly. But say what you will about the people of my parents’ generation; those little grey heads seemingly lost in the front seat of those huge Crown Victorias making left turns with the nimbleness of aircraft carri- ers -- they could still teach the rest of us a thing or two. These people still understand the value of a number of increasingly endangered human qualities. Like aboriginal elders who hold the oral traditions and histories of their people inside them, the men and women of my parents’ generation are the keepers of precious and sadly forgotten little things like manners, courtesy, decorum and respect. At 86, even on a pair of knees that make a walk to the bathroom an ordeal, my father still goes the distance around the car to open the passenger door for my mother, as well as any other door she may happen to walk through. You will never see my father wearing a hat of any kind in an eating estab- lishment. Likewise, my mother, even on her most casual days, wouldn’t look anything less than classy, clean and well-groomed. If my mother has a tattoo, I have never seen it and that’s just fine with me. Many seniors haven’t a clue how to e-mail, text or tweet, but if you have ever been the recipient of one of their gloriously hand- written letters, thank-you notes or greeting cards, you will have remembered the thrill of real, meaningful, thoughtful communi- cation. My parents’ generation is by no means perfect. I still roll my eyes when I see some- one in Bermuda shorts and compression stockings profligately watering an already green lawn in the desiccated days of August or idling one of their myriad Ford, Chrysler or Buick Dreadnoughts for 20 or 30 min- utes, but I am willing to forgive such learned and habitual indiscretions or at least to turn the other cheek. Because these people may well be the last bastions of decency, cour- tesy and manners -- the very lubricants of this world. For even if we do manage to save this planet from ecological and geopo- litical disaster, what good will fresh air, pure water and safe borders be to us if we have not learned to say please and thank you and you’re welcome? The other day I was nearing the end of both a long, hot commute and my patience, when I found myself needing to merge into a line of very heavy traffic. I sat there as vehi- cle after vehicle heedlessly passed me by, each driver studiously refusing to make any kind of eye contact with anything or anyone that might retard their commute in any way. With every metronomic click of the turn signal I felt my anger rising like summer mercury. Until, finally, a politely smiling, wrinkled face appeared behind the wheel of an enormous car. A wave of a liver-spot- ted hand and I was let in. I waved back and received a civil nod from a graying head. My anger dissipated immediately. This is the power of manners and courtesy. This is what our elders have to teach us. -- Durham resident Neil Crone is an actor, comic, and writer who saves his best lines for this column. 10 Sounds of Summer in Canada Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in with readers on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham Poll A breastfeeding mom was asked to cover up while nursing her infant, sparking a Facebook discussion in support of nursing moms every- where. Here’s a sample of the conversation that took place: A U.S. woman faces charges after leaving her nine-year-old daughter to play alone in a nearby park. What do you think? Isabel Garcia: Everyone is going nuts for no reason at all. I breastfeed my 3 children for 18 months, each one of them. I always cover up because I think it is just a huge act of love that shall be pri- vate between mother and child. Honestly I never cared about dirty looks, I always cared about that moment between my baby and I...THAT MOMENT WAS VERY PRIVATE,, that’s why I cover up!!!! 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 • Ju l y 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP I’m not sure.10% Another typical overreaction.58% Kids should never be alone.32% The InBox In the past few years, Canadians have improved their personal security against different types of financial fraud and, in turn, have become victims less often. A new study on consumer fraud in Cana- da and around the world found: • In 2014, 21 per cent reported being vic- tims of credit/debit/prepaid card fraud in the past 5 years (compared to 25 per cent who reported being victims in 2012). • By comparison, 41 per cent of Americans stated they had been card fraud victims in the past 5 years. The study also showed that Canadians have become more protective of their per- sonal information in the last 3 years • In 2014, 12 per cent had thrown docu- ments containing personal financial infor- mation in the trash (compared to 18 per cent who reported doing so in 2011) • In 2014, 12 per cent shopped online using non-secured sites or on a public computer (compared to 24 per cent in 2012). However, some risky behaviours have not improved: • 3 per cent admitted to responding to calls or emails asking for bank details. • 12 per cent left their smartphones unlocked when not in use. • 6 per cent say they wrote down their PIN and carried it with them. Consolidated Credit offers the following tips to Canadians looking to avoid being fraud victims Be skeptical: Think before giving out per- sonal information. Be safe: Protect yourself by choosing com- plicated passwords that are difficult to crack. Be smart: Always look for the “s” at the end of “https” in a website address to know it is secure. Check your credit report ... at least once per year. Source: Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada 1. Music -- all kinds of music 2. Boat sounds 3. Screams of the midway 4.

Aaaahhhh Source: vacay.ca Donna Lloyd Bruni: I had this expe- rience at the Oshawa Centre. I was nursing my infant son while my two older boys were eating their lunch. I was fully covered up with a receiving blanket and a man came up to me and asked me to “Go do that in the washroom”. Needless to say he was surprised when I asked him if that is where he would like to eat his meal. When he said of course not, I assured him that my baby would not like to eat in the washroom either. He turned and walked away...hopefully with a different perspective. Emma Joynson: So...the owner offered a public apology for the inexperienced security guard. The woman admits that she’s breast- fed there many times before without issue. But because of ONE new hire from a private compa- ny, there’s now a protest? Deserai Andrew: I don’t have chil- dren, but I believe breast feeding is a private act. If it becomes necessary to do in public have the respect for your own body to cover it up. If you didn’t have a baby there would you still show the world your nipples? Dot McFarlane :They shouldn’t have to cover up. You see more of a wom- an’s breasts in a skimpy bathing suit than when she’s breastfeeding. Derrick Webber: I do not understand the point of the protest. The manager explained that the new employee did not know the policy and apologized directly to the mom. So why have this protest? It should be issue closed. 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 • Ju l y 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 8 P My personal fave is Berry Hill Food Company in Oshawa Joanne Burghardt jburghardt@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- On a sunny June morning I ventured onto the newsdurham Facebook page to post this question: “What a beau- tiful morning! Great day for a patio lunch. Any suggestions for the best restaurant patio in Durham?” The response was overwhelming -- more than 45 responses with Bobby C’s at Port Darlington in Bowmanville coming up #1 followed by The Port in Pickering. I have a few personal favourites but for lunch it has to be a hidden treasure in downtown Oshawa: the Berry Hill Food Company at 82 King St. W., just west of Centre Street. I stopped by one day this spring and was pleasantly surprised to find Sarah Groen behind the counter as both owner and chef. Sarah is the daughter of one of our now-retired photographers, A.J. Groen, and she has a wealth of experience in the food business. But I’ll let you ask her about that when you stop by to visit. Don’t stop at the bistro tables inside the front door; ask if there’s room on her hid- den patio, which is tucked in behind the restaurant. There’s a beautiful variegated maple tree in the centre of the patio for shade and no street traffic noises, which are a common plague of outdoor patios. There’s no liquor -- yet -- but do try one of her homemade iced teas, they’re fabulous. newsdurham Facebook followers name their favouritesDurham’s best patios PICKERING -- The patio at the Port Restaurant features a fireplace and overlooks Frenchman’s Bay. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Here’s the list of suggestions we received from our Facebook followers: Bobby C’s Dockside, 70 Port Darlington Rd. Bowmanville: “Best homemade burgers in town!!!”, “Best view in Durham Region!”, “great patio and great food and great drinks and great.... LOL” “huge patio on the lake and margaritaville plays often”. Joanne says: “This is a great place to spend a sunny afternoon. There are both shade and sunny tables.” Port Restaurant, 1289 Wharf St., Pickering: “a fantastic patio and beau- tiful view of the lake”. Joanne says: “I’ve only been on the patio once but the food is always great.” That’s My Spot, 680 Longworth Ave., Bowmanville: “Best. Burger.

Brock House, 918 Brock St. N., Whitby. Tin Mill, 53 Toronto St. N., Uxbridge Berry Hill Food Company, 82 King St. W., Oshawa: “There’s a cozy little back patio at Berry Hill Food Co. In downtown Oshawa. A beautiful maple to enjoy some amazing food! Check them out to find the best eggs Benedict on Saturday and some of the most delicious espresso and coffee in the area.” Joanne says: “One of Oshawa’s hid- den treasures.” Harwood Blues, 7 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax. Urban Pantry, 4 Toronto St. N., Uxbridge: “fantastic food...great place…..” Joanne says: “I just discovered this patio this spring. It’s on a parking lot but far enough away from the street that you won’t find it to be a distraction...and they make a great white sangria.” Masseys, 774 Liverpool Rd., Pickering: “Steak on a kaiser = amazing!” The Thirsty Monk, 21 Celina St., Oshawa. The Crown & Firkin, 112 Colborne St. E., Whitby. The Patty Shack, 24 King St. E., Oshawa: “Love love LOVE the on-street patio at The Patty Shack.....people watching and amazing food.” Jack Astor’s Bar & Grill, 1355 Kingston Rd., Pickering.

And the staff are so nice and polite.” Brooklin Pour House Wine Bar & Res- taurant, 1 Way St., Whitby (Brooklin): “Tops my list.” Joanne says: “I’ve heard lots about it...never been there but putting it on my list of things to do this summer.” 1847 Wine and Beer Bistro, 45 Baldwin St. N., Whitby (Brooklin): “Has a good patio, yummy food and a mean sangria.” Joanne says: ‘Ditto, I need to go check this one out.” Safari Bar & Grill, 60 Randall Dr., Ajax. The Pub, 136 Water St., Port Perry. The Courtyard, 1437 King St. E., Oshawa. Royal Oak, 304 Taunton Rd. E & 617 Vic- toria Street W., Whitby. Joanne says: “Mmmm good! One of my favourite lunch spots is the Royal Oak on Victoria Street. Yes the patio is roadside but it’s a pretty quiet street and the medi- um wings with white sangria are perfect for a leisurely afternoon.” Our readers dish on their favourite patios To view this story and an interactive map and photos visit http://www.durham- region.com/whatson-story/4623050- newsdurham-facebook-followers-name- durham-s-best-patios/ 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 • Ju l y 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 9 P Upcoming Public Meetings Date Meeting/Location Time July23 CommitteeofAdjustment CityHall–MainCommitteeRoom 7:00pm August13 CommitteeofAdjustment CityHall–MainCommitteeRoom 7:00pm Allmeetingsareopentothepublic.Fordetailscall 905.420.2222orvisittheCitywebsite.ForServicedisruption notificationcall1.866.278.9993.

Concerns were also raised about the fact that he had mild edema, which is swell- ing caused by excess fluid trapped in the body’s tissues. “No one was ever told about these cri- teria,” Robert Mourant says. After lengthy discussions, Emery’s body was finally accepted by the Uni- versity of Toronto. But his son says the family should not have been faced with so much stress during a difficult and emotional time. “I shouldn’t have to fight and argue to fulfill my father’s final wishes, the situation is totally unacceptable,” he says. He wants to see more done to edu- cate potential donors about criteria that could make them ineligible for whole body donation. “If you want people to donate their bodies, there should be an easy way to get a clear explanation so at least the family has the chance to make alternative arrange- ments.” Unlike donation of organs and tissues to a living recipient -- which is overseen by the Trillium Gift of Life Network, an Ontario government agency -- “whole body bequeathal” falls under the jurisdiction of medical schools. In the GTA that includes the University of Toronto, McMaster University in Hamil- ton and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Each school sets its own criteria and reserves the right to refuse a body. “Cadavers play a critical role in assisting medical students to master complex human anatomy and they provide researchers with essential tools to help patients,” says Profes- sor Cindi Morshead, chairwoman of the divi- sion of anatomy, department of surgery at the University of Toronto. “As such, we must ensure the bodies that are donated are appro- priate for these purposes.” Criteria that make a body ineligible can include infectious diseases, recent major surgery, obesity, severe trauma, organ donations, amputations or if an autopsy or embalming occurred. Many schools also set weight restrictions. Professor Morshead notes that U of T sets a 200-pound cap “because above that, the process of preparation makes the bodies too heavy for our technical staff to safely handle and store properly in our facility.” Other roadblocks can happen if the death occurred outside Ontario, if a family mem- bers objects to the donation or if more than 48 hours has elapsed since death. Sometimes a school simply isn’t in need of donations and may decline for that reason. If potential donors or executors contact a medical school in advance for information, most provide an information package that lays out the guidelines. For example, U of T provides a brochure that advises people to make back-up arrange- ments. “Although each body bequeathed to the division is normally acceptable, occasion- ally a body may not be suitable for study,” it reads. “The division reserves the right to refuse a body. In the event that the body can- not be used for anatomical studies, alternate plans will have to be made with a funeral director by the next-of-kin or executor.” Bill Robinson, a funeral director at McIn- tosh-Anderson-Kellam Funeral Home in Oshawa, says they get two or three inquiries a year about whole body donation to science. “There are certain prerequisites that have to be met; we tell people it’s not a guaran- tee,” he says. “Obviously science wants a body that’s in good condition.” It is also a common misconception that there is no cost associated with a donation to science, but the deceased person’s estate is still on the hook for the cost of paper- work and transfer of the body to the medical school. Costs vary, but those services typically cost between $1,200 and $1,500. Most medical schools then pay for crema- tion and internment after the body has been used for academic purposes, which can take anywhere from 18 months to three years. Schools often hold an annual service of gratitude and invite the family and friends of the person whose body was donated. Consent to donate a body to science can be done in three ways -- by filling out a con- sent form provided by a medical school, in writing as laid out in the Trillium Gift of Life Network Act or orally in the presence of at least two witnesses prior to death. If consent has not been given in advance, next-of-kin can give consent after death.

Most schools will mail out an informa- tion package and forms to be signed. • McMaster University 905-525-9140 • University of Ottawa 613-562-5782 • Queen’s University 613-533-2600 • University of Toronto 416-978-2692 • University of Waterloo 519-885-1211 • University of Western Ontario 519-661-3014 • Canadian Memorial Chiropractic Col- lege 416-482-2340 • University of Guelph 519-400-4630 (24-hour “Human Body Donation Line”) Why bodies can be ineligible In addition to weight limits, embalm- ing, autopsies, surgery, amputations and trauma, the University of Toronto provides this list of other reasons that a body could be ineligible for donation. • Bedsores • Recent unhealed surgery wounds • Excessive edema • Obesity or extreme emaciation • Gangrene of hand or foot • Osteosarcoma • Infectious diseases such as tuber- culosis, HIV/AIDS, blood poisoning, infectious hepatitis, sepsis, septicemia, MRSA or C-Dif • More than one day has elapsed after death if body is not refrigerated • More than three days have elapsed after death if body is refrigerated • Mutilation or severe trauma • Major surgery within the past three weeks • Ruptured aortic aneurysm • Neurological diseases encephalitis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Lou Geh- rig’s disease, meningitis or multiple sclerosis.

He and Rabbi Mendel Levin, 26, are in Durham for two weeks as part of a sum- mer outreach program that sees more than 400 young rabbis and rabbinical stu- dents visit communities across the globe. This is the second time the program has come to Durham -- two rabbis also visit- ed in 2011. The goal of Roving Rabbis is to help Jewish people rediscover their heritage, especially those who might not be affili- ated with a synagogue or Jewish centre. Both rabbis hail from Massachusetts and are currently studying in Brooklin, New York. They arrived in Durham on July 8 and are in town until July 22. So far the pair has visited Port Hope, Clar- ington, Whitby and Oshawa with plans to head to Ajax and Pickering next. They have mostly been visiting local Jewish residents in their homes, but are also dropping in on businesses and malls. “We’re very relaxed. We’re not intimi- dating at all,” says Rabbi Kosofsky, not- ing that informal chats are a good way to reach those who many not be interested in worship services. “We want to ignite a spark.” The Roving Rabbis program start- ed more than 60 years ago and is run by Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch, the edu- cational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Young rabbis also travel the world dur- ing Passover, one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays. Rabbis Kosofsky and Levin are carrying suitcases of Jewish necessities to hand out to residents, including Shabbat can- dles, kosher food and mezuzahs -- a reli- gious scroll placed on doorways. Both men grew up in religious families and say they always wanted to be rabbis. “It is ingrained in us from when we’re very young,” says Rabbi Kosofsky, whose father is a rabbi. Rabbi Levin says the Durham residents they have met so far mostly want to talk about everyday Jewish life and ask spiri- tual questions. “Sometimes the simplest questions are the most challenging,” he says. Word of the visiting rabbis has spread by word-of-mouth and Rabbi Tzali Borenstein, regional director at Chabad of Durham Region, says response has been “amazing.” To reach Rabbis Levin and Kosofsky e-mail rovingrabbis@jewishdurham.com or call 905-493-9007. DURHAM -- American rabbis Mendel Levin and Yechiel Kosofsky visited Durham as part of the ‘Roving Rabbis’ program. The two rabbis are here to reach out to local jewish people to help them rediscover their heritage.

PICKERINGTOWN CENTRE Lower Level Centre Court DurhamTaekwondo/Karate Martial Arts Sponsored by Metroland’s Durham Region division Facebook page named best at media awards Local Media Association grants Durham honours for Facebook, Lynde House move and Grandview 31 project When it comes to using social media to con- nect with an audience, Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region division is top notch. The group has been awarded first-place honours for Best Use of Social Media in the annual Local Media Association Best in Dig- ital Media Contest for its news Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/news- durham. “We’ve worked extremely hard to reach audiences through new platforms,” says edi- tor-in-chief Joanne Burghardt. “Our journal- ists eagerly seek out and learn new skills that help them stay in touch with our audience.” She says social media, most notably Facebook, is a key source of referrals to the group’s website, www.durhamregion. com. The Durham team was also awarded first-place honours in Best Use of Multime- dia for time-lapse coverage of the move of Lynde House from the old Cullen Gardens grounds to its new home at Burns and Brock streets (http://www.durhamregion.com/ video/4252596/). “Videographer Leeanna McLean is always up for a challenge. She worked with the mov- ing company to mount cameras on the truck and spent two days following the house as it weaved its way through downtown Whitby to its new resting spot, capturing the move for all time,” says Mrs. Burghardt. Rounding out the trio of awards was first place for Best Development of a Commu- nity Issue for Grandview 31: a month-long look at the work being done at Grand- view Treatment Centre in Oshawa. (http:// www.durhamregion.com/durhamregion- topics/3853654-grandview-31 ) “This is an awesome example of real- ly developing a community issue over an extended period of time. The story had a great detail and feeling. If this were my very own community. I couldn’t help but feel attached,” said the competition judge. The Local Media Association boasts a membership of more than 2,200 newspa- pers and media companies in North Ameri- ca. 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 • Ju l y 2 3 , 2 0 1 4 17 AP Arleen got 10 car insurance quotes in just a few minutes.

The Otters, one of the top teams in the league last season, will face the Belleville Bulls at Scugog Arena on Friday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. The Bulls are led by general man- ager and head coach George Burnett, a Port Perry native. The Oshawa Generals, meanwhile, will play six games in advance of the OHL regu- lar season, including one each in Ajax and Bowmanville. The defending Eastern Conference champs will open the exhibition schedule on Aug. 31 in St. Catharines against the Niagara IceDogs before making their way to Kingston Sept. 5 to face the Frontenacs, now coached by former Generals assistant Paul McFar- land. The Generals will host both those teams in Durham Region, facing Niagara at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Ajax Community Centre and Kingston a week later, Sept. 13, also at 7 p.m. at the Garnet B. Rickard Recre- ation Complex. The Generals and Peterborough Petes will also play a home-and-home pre-season set, in Peterborough Sept. 11 and at the Gen- eral Motors Centre on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 6:05 p.m. The OHL regular season begins Sept. 24 and the Generals’ first game is the next night in Barrie. The home opener for Oshawa is Sunday, Sept. 28 at 6:05 p.m. against the Sudbury Wolves. Bickerstaffe had reason to celebrate his birthday Table tennis player wins gold at US Open held in Michigan Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Ron Bickerstaffe had plen- ty of reason to celebrate on July 4. As has been his custom for the past 82 years, the Pickering resident celebrated his birthday that day, adding another can- dle to the cake. But the real celebration for him that day was winning the over- 80 division at the US Open table tennis championships that were held in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Imagine, a Canadian winning a title south of the border on the American national holiday. “It’s easy to feel sorry for them, but what can I say, I was glad to get the gold medal,” says Bickerstaffe of the championship. “If one of them had lost 2-1 instead of three nothing, they would have won.” Yes, the final outcome to determine a champion became a mathematical equa- tion, with a calculator needed to declare a winner. With three players in the division, each finished with a 1-1 record with each best- of-five match ending three games to zero for the winner. With neither head-to-head or games won able to decide a winner, it went to points for and against, giving Bickerstaffe the nod. “Even the organizers said how unusual it was,” says Bickerstaffe of the tie-breaker that was used. “I think I was a clear win- ner on that one. The games I lost, it was fairly close and the games I won were fair- ly easy.” Bickerstaffe has been playing table ten- nis for 66 years, getting his start in youth clubs over in England before moving and settling in Pickering in 1954. “It keeps you healthy,” he says. “It’s good for the grey matter, they say. It can fend off Alzheimer’s and that’s why table tennis is played in a lot of seniors’ clubs.” He keeps his game sharp by playing in Pickering on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as Oshawa Saturday afternoons. At this year’s US Open he was a double- medal winner, picking up a silver in the men’s over-75 doubles with partner Mar- tin Theile of Philadelphia, when the two were paired by tournament organizers. Ironically, Bickerstaffe remembers play- ing against Theile in the team matches at Detroit’s Cobo Hall back in 1968, and beating him. Bickerstaffe has been an Ontario and Canadian senior’s champion on multi- ple occasions. In October, he will enter a regional qualifier in Oshawa with partner Terry Medford, hoping to advance to the Ontario 55+ Winter Games being held in Haliburton from Feb. 17 to 19, 2015. PICKERING -- Ron Bickerstaffe won the gold medal at the US Open table tennis cham- pionships in the 80+ division. He won the tournament on July 4, which was also his birthday.

Jason Liebregts / Metroland Pickering All Abilities soccer team ready for some action Exhibition game scheduled for July 26 PICKERING -- Pickering Soccer Club’s All Abilities Program is hosting its first soccer friendly with North Mississauga on Saturday, July 26. Game time will be from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. during Pickering Soccer Club’s All-Star Tournament. The All Abilities soccer program offers chil- dren and youth with intellectual and physi- cal impairments in the GTA an opportunity to learn and play the great game of soccer. The Pickering Soccer Club is a recent recip- ient of an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant sponsored by the Government of Ontario in April 2014. The OTF grant will allow the club to increase participation of athletes with all abilities to more than 100 athletes, advance its satellite program at Holland Bloorview Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital and Grandview Children’s Centre, explore devel- opment of new programs, build community capacity and establish a community of prac- tice. The program, established in 2008 with only five athletes, was started by Franco Taverna, director of special projects for the Pickering Soccer Club, and volunteer coach Jennifer Parker. “We simply put a call out to the communi- ty, and just showed up at the field with a bag full of soccer balls,” says Taverna. The program is designed to have one-on- one coaching. Each athlete is paired with a volunteer coach who helps the athlete devel- op soccer skills, as well as interact with their peers. “These kids feel like they are part of a team, and that they have a supportive group of people behind them rooting for their suc- cess,” says Marina Petrevska, the interim co- ordinator and field coach for the team. The future of the All Abilities program is optimistic thanks to the OTF grant. The pro- gram hopes to establish guidelines for other regional municipalities in Ontario to follow suit and start their own All Abilities teams. Hopefully, in years to come, a special needs league will exist where friendlies such as this one between Pickering and North Mississau- ga occur regularly. Pickering Swim Club prevails uReport Reader-submitted PICKERING -- Top contenders from across the central region of Ontario assembled at the University of Toronto Varsity Pool for the 2014 Long Course Championships. Twenty-five Pickering athletes qualified for the event, accumulating an extraordi- nary 75 personal bests and eradicating a combined 476.51 seconds as a team. Tyler Olson, 14, deserves special mention for shaving the most time off his events with 209.74 seconds. The following athletes stood atop the podium and secured gold medals for their outstanding performances: Danielle Cor- nacchia, 100 Back (1:11.47), Jenna Stokes, 200 Fly (2:40.26), and Nader Tannir, 100 Free (1:00.02), 200 Fly (2:34.07). Silver medallists included the follow- ing swimmers: Nicholas Geofroy, 100 Free (57.94), Tyler Olson, 400 Free (4:32.92), and Michael Taverna, 200 Breast (2:41.67). Bronze medals were awarded to: Tyler Olson, 100 Free (59.06), 400 IM (5:20.12), Amy Smith, 200 IM (2:33.15), Jenna Stokes, 100 Free (1:04.38), Nader Tannir, 200 Free (2:11.94), 400 Free (4:45.35), Brandon Tapp, 100 Fly (1:11.60), and Michael Taverna, 100 Breast (1:14.94). On Sunday, July 13th VanDusen Chev Buick GMC hosted a Charity Car Show and Family Fun Event to benefit the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ajax Pickering. Car enthusiasts had the opportunity to check out late model cars to new sports cars. In addition to helping raise funds for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ajax Pickering, VanDusen Chev Buick GMC also generously donated $5,000 to the organization.

You give me the strength I need to carry on. You hold my hand and stand beside me so I don't have to walk alone. I love you because…. You are my star in the night sky and my sunshine in the morning. You are the wind that makes the chimes sing and the clouds dance. I love you because… I see you in our children, their laughs, their courage and their drive to always do their best in everything they do. Our journey together has taken a different path. My eyes cannot see you but my soul feels your presence. My hands cannot touch you but my heart beats for yours. My ears cannot hear your voice but the wind carries your song. I love you because… You are my everything. This is not the end.
