Neighbours gathered in clusters along Peb- blestone Crescent, quietly chatting, while oth- ers placed flowers and candles at the base of a tree in front of 1164 Pebblestone Cres. Wednes- day afternoon, hours after Durham police declared the woman’s death suspicious. Police are still awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death and confirm the identity of the woman, whose body was found in the garage of the home after firefighters extinguished a fierce blaze Monday night.

A next- door neighbour said she had lived in the home with her husband and two boys for several years. “They were good neighbours -- really nice,” said the woman. Nearby, two women who said they knew the victim well supported each other, hugging and crying. Both asked that their names be withheld. “I can tell you Carmela was the best person you could ever know,” said one visibly distraught woman. “As a person and as a mother you could not find a bet- ter person.” Another woman described the victim as a “quiet” person who kept to herself and doted on her children. “Carmela was a very private person that wore her smile and would do anything to protect her kids,” she said. Neighbours said they weren’t aware of trouble at the house until emergency vehicles began arriving shortly before 8 p.m. Monday. They described an intense blaze, with heat emanating from the two- car garage into the street. Police said emergency workers arrived to find the garage engulfed in flames. The body of a woman was discovered after the fire was extinguished, police said. An autopsy was performed Tuesday and Wednesday police declared the death suspicious. Investigators contin- ued to await details on a definitive cause of death, police said. Police said Wednesday they hoped to have more answers later in the day. A source said the woman’s body was not in a vehicle. Wednesday there was no vehicle inside the gutted garage. Debris littered the floor, while pink insulation hung in spots; the walls were charred black. Outside the garage a twisted hockey net lay on its side, at the base of a basketball net. One vehicle remained parked in the driveway and the front door of the house was open. A police officer sat in an idling cruiser on the street in front of the house. Neighbour Scott Mansell, who lives several doors down the street, said he was away Monday but returned Tuesday morning to a “chaotic” scene of fire and police vehicles. He described the neigh- bourhood he’s lived in for almost 30 years as quiet and peaceful. “It’s like most good neighbourhoods,” he said. Neighbour Brendan Schroeder said he wasn’t acquainted with the family at 1164 Pebblestone, but was accustomed to see- ing the children playing with friends. “I remember seeing them there, playing and riding their bikes -- normal,” he said. Mr. Schroeder admitted to being sur- prised at the police description of the death as suspicious. “I think that’s unbelievable to have on my street,” he said. “That’s kind of scary.” Although the incident has not offi- cially been deemed a murder, the file is being supervised by Durham’s homicide department.

PICKERING from page 1 Pickering neighbours distraught at news of woman’s death Peter Rodrigues calls allegations ‘petty’ Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering councillor has been charged with 16 counts of violating the City’s sign bylaw. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues was recently issued with a sum- mons to appear in a Whitby courtroom on Sept. 23. The charges come after weeks of contro- versy relating to the councillor’s re-election campaign -- specifically his vehicle. Coun. Rodrigues’s bright yellow van has his photo and councillor website informa- tion splashed across the side, similar to vehicle wraps used by other councillors in Durham. Critics have suggested that it constitutes an illegal election sign, because candidates in Pickering are not allowed to put up signs until Oct. 3. Earlier this month City solicitor Paul Big- ioni ruled that the van is not an election sign. “In the situation at hand, we have decid- ed it is not an election sign. There is noth- ing about ‘election’ or ‘re-election’ written there,” he said. However, the City is now going after Coun. Rodrigues for violations under other sec- tions of the sign bylaw. One section relates to signs on vehicles and states that signs with promotional or advertising content cannot be displayed “on a vehicle or on a trailer that is parked or locat- ed for the primary purpose of sign display.” The other section referenced in court doc- uments relates to signs placed illegally on public property without City approval. Coun. Rodrigues maintains that he is not breaking any rules and called the charges a “petty” attempt by his election opponent -- Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles -- to “distract from the real issues.” Coun. Pickles has repeatedly raised con- cerns about various aspects of his oppo- nent’s campaign. “I’m trying to play according to the rules. If the other person isn’t playing by the rules and has a competitive advantage over me, it’s not fair,” he said in a recent interview. City staff declined to comment on the charges. “The prosecution of Councillor Peter Rodrigues under Pickering’s sign bylaw is a matter before the court and it would there- fore not be appropriate for me to comment on it,” said Mr. Bigioni. Coun. Rodrigues says he is frustrated by continued “baseless” allegations that he is breaking the rules. He stressed that there is nothing in the election sign section of the bylaw that speaks to signs on vehicles and suggested the City staff is “changing the rules as they go along” due to pressure from Coun. Pick- les. “This is not worth my time. This is ridic- ulous,” Coun. Rodrigues said, noting that he plans to seek legal advice on the damage done to his reputation. Coun. Pickles and Coun. Rodrigues are the only candidates vying for the Ward 3 Regional Councillor seat. Pickering councillor charged with 16 sign bylaw violations PICKERING -- Ward 3 Regional Councillor Peter Rodrigues is seeking re-election, fac- ing off against Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles. Coun. Pickles has raised con- cerns about potential election violations. He has raised concerns about Coun. Rodrigues’ vehicle, which has a wrap with his face and website. Coun.

For those that love pets! Things that go bump in the house Chris Hall chall@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It’s safe to say, we never saw it coming. Of all the concerns we had for our dalma- tian, we never expected him to go suddenly blind -- overnight, as it turned out. A happy Dexter dog went to bed on a cold March Saturday night, tired from playing in the living room while the Toronto Maple Leafs skated to a solid win over Anaheim. The next morning, however, everything changed in his world and ours. We woke up to a dog trembling in his own bed, laying in a mess of urine. His eyelids were clamped shut over his amber eyes, unwilling -- or unable -- to open them. He looked like he was squinting to keep out the sunlight. Scared, we had no idea what was wrong with Dexter. We rushed him downstairs and into the backyard where he seemed stunned and dazed. He tried to open his eyes, which went suddenly cloudy in the bright morning light. Unknowingly, we had just been given a crash introduction to canine glaucoma. At the emergency clinic in Newmarket, a vet technician studied Dexter and said it seemed like he was suffering from a massive migraine. A vet there suspected acute glaucoma -- capa- ble of rendering a dog blind in only hours -- but referred us to the Veterinary Emergency Clinic in downtown Toronto, where that diag- nosis was soon confirmed. In simple terms, glaucoma is a serious eye disease where fluid in the eye is produced faster than it can be removed, which leads to a sustained increase in intraocular pressure. That increasing pressure causes degenerative changes to the optic nerve and the retina. Medications were administered in an effort to relieve the pressure. A needle was poked into Dexter’s eyes in an attempt to remove the fluid. Nothing worked. In a matter of hours after waking up on Sunday morning, we learned that his left eye could not be saved. His right eye would prob- ably meet the same fate. Soon, the veterinarian, Dr. Tara Richards, an ophthalmologist at VEC, was on the phone introducing us to a variety of new terms -- the scariest being enucleation: surgery to remove both eyes that would see Dexter forever blind, his eyelids sewn shut. Throughout our discussions, Dr. Richards repeatedly stressed the ordeal is harder on the owners than the pets. Then she pleaded with us not to euthanize him (it was never a consid- eration) because he was a happy, healthy dog who could manage just fine without his eyes. “It’s a common thought that goes through most people’s minds, especially when their dog is losing complete vision,” said Dr. Rich- ards of the initial euthanasia reaction. Out of “numerous” glaucoma cases, Dr. Richards said she only failed once in persuad- ing a pet owner not to put their dog down. “As humans, we’re visual species. When we think about losing our vision, it’s devastating,” she said. “I’m sure for a dog, it’s upsetting, but they’re phenomenal creatures and adapt very well.” Dr. Richards was right. Glaucoma may have robbed Dexter of his sight, but certainly not his life. Six months after he returned home, Dexter is Dexter again. His disability is more of an after-thought than an ongoing concern. In his head, he has mapped out our house and yard entirely, turning corners, ascend- ing stairs, locating his favourite chair and, of course, finding his food bowl, with no prob- facebook.com/NewsDurhamKristensKritters lems. He bumps into things occasionally, but that’s more our fault than his -- Rule No. 1 with a blind dog: Never move the furniture or place objects in his way. It’s interesting to see his other senses at work. His nose now probably is his best guide, but touch would be a close second. He knows that the cobblestone pathway through the yard will take him to the deck and the house. When he finds the throw rug in the living room, he can turn right and end up on his chair or left and wander into the kitchen. Perhaps we missed the warning signs -- a dog uncharacteristically rubbing its eyes with paws or against furniture, swelling of the eye, irritability and loss of appetite -- but we’ll never know for sure. What we do know is we still have Dexter. Our lives have changed, sure. He is more dependent than ever on us -- he depends on us to warn him of impending cranium crack- ers -- but he’s still the same dog. A dog going blind is not the end of the world. Perhaps, maybe, Dr. Richards was right: This entire ordeal was harder on us than on Dexter. We would have never saw that coming.

Local firefighters have been taking an “aggres- sive” approach to training in the wake of the July 2013 derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, which saw 47 lives lost and more than 30 buildings destroyed. A new report says 52 Pickering Fire Services staff have now completed first responder level haz- ardous materials training, a 24-hour course that includes classroom and hands-on elements. There are plans to certify another 12 to 15 firefighters in November and have the entire staff trained by the end of next year. “It’s important for every- one to have that knowledge, because we never know who will be on scene when some- thing like this happens,” says Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg. “The tragedy in Lac- Mégantic was a wakeup call, we are taking this very seriously.” In the coming weeks Pickering Fire Services will also send five staff to a special course in Colorado, the only one of its kind in North America. CP Rail is covering all expenses for the training, which focus- es on crude oil emergencies and includes a full- scale derailment exercise. Examples of hazardous materials transported by rail include crude oil, ethanol, methane gas, chlo- rine, diesel fuel and sulfuric acid. These substances can create emergency scenar- ios if they are spilled, such as gaseous substances dispersing into the air, fires, explosions and liquids seeping into the water table. Last fall, Transport Canada announced that rail- ways would be required to start providing municipalities with information on dangerous goods moving through their territory on annual basis. Pickering recently began receiving the data, which details the quantity and type of hazardous goods travelling through the community. “It’s an overview, we now know the top dangerous goods going through our area and that’s helpful,” the fire chief said. Some fire services have called for real-time data, but Chief Hagg says he’s not sure that is necessary or realistic. “Would it be helpful? Perhaps. But there is only so much we can digest on the way to the scene,” he said. New rules also require rail companies to prepare an “emergen- cy response assistance plan” for the hazardous goods they are transporting. The plan gives firefighters and other emergency responders details such as safe evacuation distances and how to contain a spill.

The good people at St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Community Food Bank think about them every day and need your help to reduce the need in Pickering. It’s almost time for the annual Thanks- giving food drive, running from Oct. 3 to 14. And to date in 2014, the food bank has assisted 6,340 Ajax and Pickering resi- dents, compared to 5,263 at the same time last year. That represents a roughly 20-per cent increase and 40 per cent of the food bank’s clients are children. Director Margaret Jocz tells us that sup- plies are low as the need continues to rise, noting there was “a big drop in donations over the summer.” She believes the fragile economy has had a big effect, as those who used to donate a lot are donating less and those who once gave a little are perhaps not giving anything. As understandable as that is, we must not forget those in our communities who could use our assistance. We are often quick to make a donation to help those in other parts of the world after a major disas- ter such as a typhoon or an earthquake. Don’t forget those who are in need close to home. When we sit down to Thanksgiving din- ner on the Oct. 11 weekend, we’ll be with our family and friends and most of us will have a big spread of food before us. We’ll dine on ham or turkey, sweet potatoes and other vegetables and a bevy of desserts. But while most of us will be thankful for our families, especially our children, the lavish meal will be almost an after-thought. After all, most of us generally eat well, especially at holiday happenings. But thousands of people in our commu- nity are not so fortunate. Coming up with a decent meal every day is a challenge and holidays like Thanksgiving are no feast. Many work long hours and more than one job just to provide the necessities to their families. And as others in the community cele- brate and feast, some of our neighbours cannot afford such luxury and have little to celebrate. Our Thanksgiving wish is that, at the end of the food drive, the shelves at the food bank are stocked. And further, that Pickering residents think of others at Thanksgiving and all year round.

GO trains need two accessible coaches to meet rider needs To the editor: Re: ‘Entitlement versus disability’, letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, Sept. 11, 2014. As the GO Transit train accessibility coach is in much demand for both those with disabilities and strollers, why doesn’t GO simply put two of the much-needed accessible coaches on a train? There isn’t a lot of room for strollers on regular cars so I see the attraction to use ones with easier accessibility and room to manoeuvre. Communities are encouraged to use public transportation and this is one step that should be taken to meet the existing demand. Mary Cook Pickering Education saves children’s lives To the editor: This month, many of us had children return to school. As parents, and as a society, we under- stand the importance of an education. But what many people may not know is that globally 57 million children do not have the opportunity to attend primary school and 65 million girls do not attend either primary or secondary school. What your readers may also not know is that for every 10 per cent increase in girls attending school, approximately 350,000 children’s lives are saved. This is because a child born to an edu- cated mother is more than twice as likely to survive to the age of five and as a wom- an’s education level increases the more likely she is to vaccinate her children and feed them nutritiously, preventing death. With these facts in mind, I’m calling on our government to follow through on its commitment and pledge at least $120 bil- lion over four years to the Global Partner- ship for Education. I’m also calling on your readers to write, or tweet, their Members of Parliament, asking them to support this initiative as well.

Library staff has recently started dropping in on English-as-a-sec- ond-language classes at nearby Welcome Centre Immigrant Ser- vices, then walking clients across Pickering’s pedestrian bridge to the library’s main branch. “We learned that libraries are often the second place newcom- ers go,” says Kathy Williams, the library’s director of public servic- es. “We wanted this to be a place they would feel safe and welcome, and a place where there would be a familiar face.” That outreach effort is just one of the reasons the Pickering library was recently recognized as a Diver- sity and Immigration Champion by Durham’s Local Diversity and Immigration Partnership Council. The award recognizes the library’s work in several areas, including introducing more inclu- sive hiring practices and creating programs that reflect the needs of an increasingly diverse communi- ty. Ms. Williams says just improv- ing awareness among staff of the unique needs of newcomers has been important. She points to the recent example of a man who came into one of the Pickering library branches on a hot day in August and asked for a glass of water. When library staff directed him to a drinking fountain, he was confused. “He had just come to Canada and has never used a fountain before, he didn’t know what it was,” Ms. Williams says. “Little things like that give us a sense of awareness.” The Diversity and Immigration Champion program allows local organizations and indi- viduals to apply for a certificate if they can demonstrate that they are making Durham a more inclusive and welcoming place.

Registration PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

Just ask Brooklin resident Toni Grates. She has spent her life acting, speaking and writing, thanks in part to Jim Finan, her St. Mary high school drama teacher in Pickering. His passion and confidence in Grates was enough to stir her creative juic- es, propelling to a career in the arts. She still remembers him telling her she was going to choreograph the high school musical. It was an original production called On the Rooftop that he wrote. No pressure there. Grates put everything she had into the musical and knew from that point on the arts were what she wanted to do with her life. “I didn’t go to a fancy arts school,” she said. “I was inspired by my arts teacher.” After high school, Grates went on to earn a BA in theatre from York University and then a diploma in musical theatre from the Randolph Academy. Then real life started ... meaning auditions. Grates was fortunate; she landed many roles in those early days performing in Chicago and Los Angeles as well as in many regional theatres including the Tony Awarding-winning Utah Shakespearean Festival. She was also the resident chore- ographer at the Utah Shakespearean Festi- val in 2003. In 2004 her one-woman show, A String of Broken Curling Irons, which she wrote and starred in, was produced in Hol- lywood at the Egyptian Arena Theatre. No stranger to comedy, she later did cho- reography for several shows at The Second City. She choreographed the Off-Broadway and Chicago version of the original Sister Bernie’s Bingo Bash and the Dora-nomi- nated and Canadian Comedy Award-win- ning production of SARSical at the Factory Theatre in Toronto. She was also the head writer for the television series Out There with Melissa DiMarco, a Canadian sitcom produced for CityTV. It all sounds rather glamorous but Grates insisted it wasn’t easy. For every produc- tion she was involved in, there was always down time between gigs. And even when she wasn’t working, the bills still had to be paid. “I worked in fitness centres, I walked dogs, I did a lot of things to make ends meet,” she said. “You never forget all the other jobs you’ve had to do in your life.” But she never lost that spark of inspira- tion to keep living the life she wanted in the arts. It was between gigs in 2002 when Grates had finished a nine-month contract in Chi- cago when she came up with the idea to start offering arts workshops for children. The idea became The Travelling Stage, a creative arts education company bring- ing dance and drama to students. The first school she ever brought the workshop to was in Pickering. “I remember when I started offering workshops. I had a borrowed car with my supplies in a laundry hamper in the back seat,” she said. Grates said the arts and yoga she brings into classrooms is meant to enrich what students already get at school. It keeps stu- dents engaged and inspired, much like she was in high school. “This is a way for kids to express them- selves and build their self-esteem,” she said. The Travelling Stage kept Grates busy between gigs for a few years. The work gradually started to take up more and more of her time. In 2005 she came home from Los Angeles and decided to focus more on the company. Today the workshops have gotten more popular, expanding to 425 schools across 10 school boards. “We have a team of people who love per- forming,” she said, adding she’s never “sac- rificed quality for quantity.” Today Grates calls Brooklin home. She’s lived there for two years since moving from Toronto. She said she enjoys the feeling here. “It’s a nice quality of life,” she said. She said her work with The Travelling Stage and her acting career (she’s done a lot of commercials including Tim Hortons, TD Bank, Activia to name a few) take her all over the place “but it’s nice to come home.” Her son, four-year-old Isaac, takes after his mother when it comes to the arts. Grates said she tries to keep it a part of his life. “I just want him to be creative,” she said. While balancing family and career is never easy, Grates said she’ll be spending a bit more time at home in the near future as she’s pregnant. The baby’s expected in Jan- uary. Not one to remain still for long, Grates said she’s also “forever working on a book.” It’s about balancing motherhood and career, the challenges and the joys. She’s also in the initial stages of talks with a production company about a possible TV series with The Travelling Stage. Grates said she’s still open for auditions but doesn’t think “there’s a lot of roles for pregnant women.” In the meantime, she’s planning an all- inclusive, all-ages event in Oshawa on Sept. 28 called the Arts Roundup at the Harmo- ny Creek Community Centre, 15 Harmony Rd. N. This event will bring some of Cana- da’s most established performers, coaches and teachers under one roof for a series of workshops. To participate in a single work- shop costs $20 plus HST or a package of three workshops costs $55 plus HST. For more information about the Arts Roundup or The Travelling Stage, contact 416-317- 8950 or visit the website at www.travelling- stage.com. DURHAM -- Toni Grates is a seasoned actor and choreographer who has performed on stages across North America. She’s also starred in many commercials on television including Tim Hortons, Activia and TD Bank to name a few. If that wasn’t enough to keep the Brooklin resident busy, she also operates The Travelling Stage, a company that brings workshops in dance, drama and creative yoga to young people.

The 20-year-old Pickering native went to Uruguay for five months, lived on a farm on the outskirts of the capital, Mon- tivideo, and offered assistance to young- sters -- many who were in various drug rehabilitation programs. “I had just spent a year studying kine- siology at the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology in Oshawa and really wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do,” said Murrell. “I’m a church-going individual and our local pastor asked me if I wanted to go on this trip.” Murrell, who grew up playing soc- cer, baseball, volleyball and basketball, thought he would make the trip to see if he was able to help out. “The trip changed my life,” said Murrell, now in his first year of studies in George Brown’s child and youth worker program and, after getting his diploma, plans to bridge the academic program to Ryerson University to get his degree. “I love working with kids and I know many of them are vulnerable. There are times when the right thing to do is help. And when I graduate, I can see myself going overseas to help in Africa or, maybe, returning to South America.” Murrell, who achieved honors grades in his final year at Dunbarton Secondary in Pickering, is also a talented baseball play- er. He has played the game since he turned eight years old and his parents signed him up for a house-league team in Durham Region. At high school, he opted out from the sport for personal reasons. Last year, despite being a student at UOIT, he suited up for the Durham Col- lege squad, but had been bothered by a torn muscle in his shoulder suffered from playing too much baseball in a short peri- od of time. As Murrell described it, “competing at Durham and also with the Pickering tri- ple-A team pushed it a bit too much”. After taking an MRI a few months ago, Murrell was given a clean bill of health. Murrell, after his first four games in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association, leads the league in batting with a .636 average and his on base numbers are also No. 1, posting an impressive .692. In a pair of doubleheaders against St. Clair College of Windsor and Fanshawe College of London, the top two teams in the league, the six-foot-one outfielder went 7-for-11 at the plate with three dou- bles, two runs batted in, scored four times, had three stolen bases and one walk. PICKERING -- Andrew Murrell of Pickering leads the OCAA in batting average through four games. The George Brown outfielder has a .636 average.

And at the Athletics Ontario youth championships, the Pickering residents pushed each other to new heights, each beating the old provincial record in the 80m hurdles. Anna Witherspoon earned the gold in the bantam age division, setting a new Ontario record in a time of 12.77, while Shaleah Colaire took silver in a 12.78. The two were the class of the field, as Sarah Saldutto finished third in a time of 13.91. “I didn’t expect that race at all. It was the race of the meet,” said Nyron Higgins, their coach at Durham Legion Athletics. “They’re both pretty quick. They are both athletic girls. This age, a lot of clubs don’t teach the kids (hurdles) that early, which I do.” Higgins says that the Legion club, which trains out of the Civic Dome in Oshawa in the winter and at Father Leo Austin in Whitby in the summer, introduces kids at a young age to the hurdles, helping them to overcome their fear of falling or hit- ting a hurdle during a race. The Grade 8 students made another trip to the medal podium during the cham- pionships. In the 200m hurdles, Wither- spoon also won gold in a time of 29.62, while Colaire finished third in 30.65. Colaire is the younger sister of Olympic hurdler Nikkita Holder. Lightning ready to drop puck Durham West opens PWHL season Saturday in Toronto against Aeros Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The puck hasn’t dropped for the regular season yet, but already Jeremy Murphy likes what he sees in his Durham West Jr. Lightning hockey club. “As far as the tryout process goes, it was one of the easier ones for us,” said the head coach of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League team. “We had a lot of high-quality kids right in our backyard. “We have a lot of depth. This is probably the deepest team we’ve had top to bottom in five years. It’s balanced really well. It’s a good mix of veteran players and new girls coming in. We have experience and no weak link.” The Lightning open league play this weekend in Toronto against the Aeros on Saturday, then host the Cambridge Rivu- lettes on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Ajax Community Centre. While the team will be billeting four girls from out of town this season, including twins Kaitlyn and Taylor McManus from Utterson (near Huntsville), Maria Domi- nico (North Bay) and Kirsten MacDougall (Bracebridge), the roster is composed of a lot of young, local talent. “The league overall has got a little bit younger each year,” says Murphy. “In our area, the Durham Region, there’s lots of good, young players. On our roster we’ve brought in a lot of local, younger kids.” One of the big holes the hockey club will have to fill will be to replace captain Ken- nedy Marchment, who led the team and finished second in the league in scoring last season. She has moved on, accepting a scholarship to St. Lawrence University. “Last year we relied a lot on one line for scoring. This year, it’s going to be spread out more,” said Murphy, adding he expects to get more offensive production out of his defence this season as well. When the 38-game regular season comes to an end, Murphy expects his team to be among the upper echelon. “Our expectations are always to be in that top pack of teams, that group of five or six. This year is no different. On paper I think we have a team that can compete with the top teams.” After opening with a pair of games this weekend, the schedule has a couple of quirks in it to follow. The Lightning will play six straight games on the road, fol- lowed by six in a row at home. PICKERING -- Pickering’s Shaleah Colaire and Anna Witherspoon brought home silver and gold med- als from the provincial track champi- onships in the 80m hurdles, both set- ting provincial records in the process.

WEARING, Lionel Horace - June 10, 1923-August 27, 2014 Passed away peacefully in his 91st year on August 27, 2014 at Joseph Brant Hospital, Burlington, Ontario. Devoted husband of 59 years of Betty (deceased). Loving father to Michael (Kathryn), Liz (Roger), Tony (Judy). Proud "Papa" to Lesley-Ann (Dan), Andrew (Pam), Dave, Dana (Dennis). Adoring "Great-Papa" to Julian, Ella, Aidan, Lily. Survived by his dear sister in England, Kath. Lionel proudly served in the Royal Air Force during WWII. He married Betty in 1944 and in 1957 emigrated to Canada. In 1958, Lionel moved his family to Ajax, Ontario, where he became a well-respected member of the community during his 52 year residency. For 25+ years, he enjoyed employment with The Oshawa Group Limited (IGA) where he always had a smile for his customers. Lionel had a special love for his garden, built dollhouses for his granddaughters and Ajax Hospital Auxilliary, was active in his church, the Canadian Legion and served as a volunteer at the Ajax Hospital for 8 years. A daily walk to the Ajax plaza to have a good chat and a cup of coffee with his friends in the "Coffee Gang" brought him great joy. As did his strolls along the Ajax waterfront meeting and greeting passersby. Lionel will be missed but fondly remembered by those who knew him. He loved to whistle while he walked - and always had a song in his heart. If you paused long enough for a chat, he would often treat you to his version of What a Wonderful World - a motto he tried each day to live his life by - and encouraged others to do the same. A private family interment service has already taken place. His family is grateful to Veterans Affairs Canada, the staff at Delmanor Glen Abbey, Oakville, La Salle, Burlington, and Joseph Brant Hospital Palliative Ward for the tremendous support and care provided to Lionel in his final years. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
