PICKERINGNews Adver tiser / durhamregion.com / @newsdurham @newsdurham SENIORS’ HOME FIRENA Fifty firefighters worked all night to knock down Fairview Lodge fire in Whitby WHITBY -- The Oct. 27 fire at Fair- view Lodge seniors’ home was one of the biggest fires Whitby firefighters have ever dealt with. Fire Prevention Officer Terry Von Zuben says it took a remark- able amount of manpower to eventually extinguish the blaze, which started at about 9:30 a.m. on Monday. “We had 50 firefighters on scene working all through the night,” he said, noting the fire was finally out as of 5:30 a.m. Tues- day. “This is probably one of the largest fires we’ve ever had.” Fighting the fire required resources from Whitby, Oshawa and Ajax fire services. Mr. Von Zuben says the chal- lenge lay in the size of the build- ing, which has about 80 rooms. Crews eventually had to tear down the building on Monday evening, to get water inside. The cause of the fire is currently being investigated.

Fire victims unlikely to return to Fairview Lodge Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Residents displaced by the fire at Fairview Lodge probably won’t be head- ing back to the site until a new building opens. The 192 residents were forced to evacuate by a massive fire in a wing at the rear of the lodge on Monday. Staff was able to get all the residents out of the building safely. Laura MacDermaid, Durham Region’s director of long-term care and services for seniors, said, “We don’t have any official indication, but realistically, we’re not look- ing to return to that site.” The areas of the building that didn’t burn would have extensive smoke damage, she said . Residents are “currently temporarily relo- cated to receiving centres,” Ms. MacDer- maid noted. A new Fairview Lodge has been under construction for more than a year, and should be ready for residents early in 2015. It’s on the same site as the current lodge. Ms. MacDermaid noted construction crews working on the new Fairview were back on the job Tuesday. They were forced from the adjacent site because of the fire. As for affecting the construction, Ms. Mac- Dermaid said the fire “shouldn’t have any impact.” Until the residents move into the new Fair- view, they will remain off-site, she noted. The Region, which operates the home, is looking to find places where the residents can stay until the new building is open. Residents have been moved to about 17 sites around Durham, including Lakeridge Health Oshawa and Whitby, and 10 are stay- ing at the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital site. “We’re working with our regional part- ners” to get clothing, shoes and toiletries for the residents, Ms. MacDermaid said. As for any costs incurred by the Region because of the blaze, “those matters will be handled by the Region’s insurance and risk management offices,” she added. During the blaze, the residents were ini- tially moved to St. John the Evangelist Church and St. John the Evangelist School, both on Giffard Street one block from the lodge. They were then taken to the Abilities Centre, which closed its programing for the remainder of the day. “The residents did surprisingly well. A lot had family members with them. Those that didn’t had staff on a one-on-one basis. They were obviously shaken and it was a long day. We didn’t get out of the Abilities Centre until after 11,” she said. “It was very stressful for residents and staff. We had a lot of partners. It went as smoothly as it could,” Ms. MacDermaid added.

Nobody was injured in the blaze. Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland Nursing home residents find shelter at Abilities Centre Parvaneh Pessian ppessian@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Many of the nearly 200 nursing home residents displaced following Mon- day’s fire at Fairview Lodge found temporary shelter inside the walls of the Abilities Centre. The fully accessible, multi-functional facil- ity in Whitby opened its doors to more than 150 seniors at about 3 p.m. on Oct. 27. Staff sprang to action, halting regular programs and services at the centre to accommodate the residents, including many in wheelchairs. “We were asked if they could use our facil- ity and we obviously jumped at the chance to help people in our community,” said Heather St. Amand, director of communication, pub- lic relations and issues management at the Abilities Centre. “We were in close proximity and, of course, we’re accessible so it was just the first place that made sense.” A fire broke out at Fairview Lodge, a long- term care home at 632 Dundas St. W. in Whitby, at about 9:30 a.m. Monday and it continued to burn into the afternoon. All 192 residents were evacuated safely. Ms. Amand said Abilities Centre staff worked alongside members of Durham police, EMS and Red Cross to ensure the seniors were comfortable until the Region of Durham could arrange for alternative hous- ing. Members of the public dropped by the cen- tre throughout the day to offer donations and other means of assistance for the residents, she added. Fairview Lodge residents stayed at the Abil- ities Centre until about 3 a.m. Tuesday when they were dispersed to various locations across Durham, including Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences and the Village of Taunton Mills retirement home. Regular programming has resumed at the Abilities Centre. Regional staff is continuing to arrange accommodation for those affected by the fire. 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 9 , 2 0 1 4 3 AP Find us on: Call for SubmiSSionS! application Deadline: october 31 at 11:59 p.m. Cost of the submission is FREE.

Join us at Pinterest/newsdurham Accused in Durham teen prostitution trial ‘in charge’ says witness Man testifies about meeting escorts in Toronto Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- A young woman accused of forcing a 14-year-old Oshawa girl into pros- titution appeared to be “the leader” in a transaction with a man seeking sex, a court has heard. “She seemed to be in charge,” Jaime Ochoa said of the defendant, one of two young women on trial. Mr. Ochoa identified the woman in court Tuesday, saying he “vaguely” recognized her from an encounter he had in Toronto in the fall of 2013. He testified he went to a downtown Toron- to hotel after seeking out escorts online, and was met by two girls. Mr. Ochoa said he asked if the girls were 19, and was assured they were. One of the women was “the more asser- tive one, the talkative one,” he said, while the other girl was “very quiet. “She talked, but not much,” he said. The Crown alleges the encounter involved a 14-year-old Oshawa girl who was coerced into prostitution by the two young women now on trial. The young women have pleaded not guilty to charges including human traffick- ing, intimidation and procuring a person for prostitution. The names of both accused are protected under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. A court order bans publication of other evidence that might identify the complainant or the accused. Prosecutor Paula Thompson said the girl was persuaded to go to Toronto, where she was told she would attend a party and act as an escort. During her time in Toronto the girl was given intoxicants and had no access to money or a phone, she told the court. The Crown alleges the two accused worked in concert with an adult male to exert control over the girl, arranging for liai- sons with men in Toronto hotel rooms and accepting payment for sex acts. “She was led to believe she would be harmed if she left,” Ms. Thompson said of the girl. During cross examination Tuesday defence lawyer David Hodson asked if the girl was a willing participant in the transac- tion. “This escort could have left the room at any time you were there?” he asked. “Yes sir,” said the witness. “I did not force myself upon her.” The trial continues in Oshawa before Ontario Court Justice Michael Block. 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 9 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP NOVEMBER 8 Abeldent, Intermediate 8 Cleansing and Clearing Toxins 8 Disaster Survival Preparedness 8 Emergency First Aid and CPR (C) 8 Estate Planning -Plan Your Legacy 8 Income Tax for Small Business 8 Investing:A Beginner’s Guide 8 Photography: Studio Lighting NOVEMBER 22 Abeldent,Advanced 22 Standard First Aid and CPR (C) DECEMBER 6 Standard First Aid and CPR (C) Various cooking demonstrations and classes are also available.

New trial ordered for alleged mastermind of fraud ring busted in Durham Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- A new trial has been ordered for a man convicted three years ago of masterminding a card- skimming ring that defrauded banks and their customers of more than $450,000. A judge should have issued a more explicit warning to jurors about the reliability of witness- es accused of participating in the scheme, the Ontario Court of Appeal said in ordering a new trial for Nirmalarasan Kanagalingam. Mr. Kanagalingam was convict- ed in September 2011 on charges including fraud, conspiracy to com- mit fraud and participating in a criminal organization. He was sen- tenced to six years in prison and ordered by Superior Court Justice Myrna Lack to pay $50,000 in resti- tution. Prior to Mr. Kanagalingam’s trial, several co-accused pleaded guilty, acknowledging their participation in the frauds and identifying Mr. Kanagalingam as the ringleader. But during Mr. Kanagalingam’s trial those same men recanted por- tions of their testimony that includ- ed Mr. Kanagalingam’s participa- tion. Prosecutor Mitchell Flagg suc- cessfully applied to have entered as evidence prior statements made by the men that implicated Mr. Kanag- alingam. During her instructions to the jury, Justice Lack warned them about the weight they ought to give to testimony from Mr. Kanagalin- gam’s alleged co-conspirators. The so-called Vetrovec warning is typi- cally given when jurors are present- ed with evidence by unsavoury wit- nesses; the judge told jurors they ought to use caution in assessing the statements, given the criminal backgrounds of the witnesses. Lawyers representing Mr. Kanag- alingam on appeal argued that while Justice Lack issued the Vetro- vec warning, she didn’t go far enough in explaining why jurors ought to apply special scrutiny to the statements. They asserted the accused had an interest in co- operating with police to convict Mr. Kanagalingam -- including the prospect of having charges with- drawn, and receiving lenient sen- tences for the charges to which they pleaded guilty. In a ruling released Oct. 22, Appeal Court Justices John Laskin, Eleanore Cronk and Robert Blair agreed. “The trial judge did not adequately explain the reasons why the testimony of the four former- ly co-accused witnesses required special scrutiny,” Justice Blair wrote on behalf of the panel. “Making the witnesses’ dishonest history the focal point of the explanation why their testimony required careful scrutiny was not sufficient in these circumstances.” Jurors ought to have known about the incentive for the witnesses to lie, the court found. “The sentenc- es received were, on balance, quite lenient,” Justice Blair wrote. The Crown alleged Mr. Kanagalin- gam headed up a highly-organized cell of fraudsters who made fake debit cards by altering commer- cial pinpad terminals and “skim- ming” data from unsuspecting card users. The ring raked in more than $450,000 prior to being busted by Durham cops in late 2008, jurors heard. Police were tipped to the scheme by a Whitby gas bar atten- dant who contacted authorities after being offered money to allow the debit terminal in his station to be altered, jurors heard.

In the Club Room - Open House Durham home daycare providers rally against Bill 10 Critics say changes could cut childcare spots, increase fees Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- Home daycare providers in Durham say changes proposed by the Province could result in fewer childcare spots and higher fees for local families. On Oct. 26, critics of Bill 10 -- also known as the Child Modernization Act -- held a small rally outside Oshawa City Hall. The local event was part of a provincial day of action organized by the Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontar- io. “We’re very much in favour of over- sight and safety,” said Emily Allison, Dur- ham Region spokeswoman for CICPO. “But Bill 10 means prices will go up and spots will be harder to come by.” If approved, Bill 10 would bring in a long list of changes, many affecting home day- care providers. Under the proposed legislation, inde- pendent home daycare providers -- those not affiliated with an agency -- would be allowed a maximum of five children under age 13, including their own children under age six. Providers affiliated with an agency would be allowed a maximum of six children under 13. Under the current rules, a provider’s own children don’t count towards the maxi- mum. “I have a four year old who would now be counted, that means I would have to cut one of my families,” says Ms. Allison, a Bowmanville resident who has been pro- viding home daycare for four years. Bill 10 also proposes limiting home day- care providers to caring for two children under two years of age. Participants at the Oshawa rally marched with signs that read “two under two doesn’t add up,” saying the introduction of full-day kindergarten means the majority of chil- dren they care for are between the ages of one and three. CICPO members say two children under 18 months or three under age two, makes more sense. Whitby resident Gisele Fountas has been providing home daycare for about 15 years and currently cares for three children under age three. “I am very sensitive to the age groups I care for, I monitor myself and I am very realistic about what I can handle,” she says. “We need to get the word out about this and educate parents about what it means for them.” Bill 10 is being proposed in response to the recent deaths of children in GTA home daycares, including two-year-old Eva Ravikovich, who died at a Vaughan home daycare where there were 27 children. “Parents want to know their children are in a safe, nurturing environment. And par- ents need to know the government can intervene if their child’s safety is at risk,” said Education Minister Liz Sandals, when the Child Care Modernization Act was re- introduced this past July. “If passed, this legislation would help build a childcare system that is high quality, seamless and meets the needs of parents and children.” The proposed legislation would allow the Province to issue fines of up to $100,000 per infraction and increase the maximum penalty for infractions under the Act from $2,000 to $250,000 per conviction. It would also clarify the requirement that all private schools that care for more than five children under age four must be licensed. According to CICPO, there are currently 70,000 independent daycare providers in Ontario caring for 350,000 children. With each provider facing an average potential reduction of two spots, CICPO says Bill 10 could slash 140,000 childcare spots across Ontario. DURHAM -- Local home daycare providers held a rally at Oshawa City Hall, part of a provincial day of action organized by the Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario. Participants are concerned Bill 10 could lead to fewer childcare spots and higher fees.

I met a gentleman in the midst of a chaotic day who began to tell me about his aunt and uncle. I have no idea why he began the story; it was a com- pletely random conversation. He explained: “My aunt and uncle when they met you upon arriving home made a written note of the date and your name. This diary of sorts was kept up for years. It was full of names -- every per- son they met even once made the book.” Although I was completely swamped, he had piqued my interest, of course, and being myself I was always up for a story. These sorts of distrac- tions, I have learned, often reduce the stress of the day. So I bit: “Why on earth did your aunt and uncle keep a diary of everyone they ever met?” “Well the way they figured, sooner or later people were going to pass on and they checked the obituaries daily -- if they found a match in their book of names they would attend the funeral as well as the reception. As my uncle always said it was better than attending weddings; you always got fed and you never had to bring a gift.” Well, it kind of made some sense and I guess they actually had met the deceased so no harm done. It occurs to me the conversations that get started with strangers and new acquaintances are frequently very personal and unusual. I have found many people feel comfortable talking about their life experiences, relatives and stories to strangers. Story-telling is an art and many days I am surrounded by unique characters spinning tales and turning experiences into enter- tainment. Not intentionally, of course. It’s in the power of their embellished presenta- tions. -- Marsha Hill is currently working for Gary Hill Auctions after working in the corporate world in Toronto for almost 30 years.

Marsha Hill Guest Column Boardroom to the barn Fight to end polio endures To the editor: I want to thank all of the 1.2 million Rota- ry Club members in 200 countries around the world who kept their promise to make polio eradication our No. 1 priority. In particular, hats off to the people just like you and me, the 2,300 men and women of the 54 Rotary clubs right here in south- ern Ontario in Rotary International Dis- trict 7070 who marked World Polio Day on Oct. 24. And thank you to the Rotaract and Interact clubs all over Canada for helping us make this happen. The number of new polio cases, a disease that once paralyzed more than 1,000 chil- dren every day, has dropped more than 99 per cent since the 1980s. There are fewer cases in fewer places than ever before. However, a funding gap means immu- nization campaigns are being cut in high- risk countries, leaving children more vul- nerable. If polio isn’t stopped now, the dis- ease could stage a comeback, affecting an estimated 200,000 children every year. This is a historic moment, and one that is meaningful to people -- especially children -- the world over. Your readers can join the fight by visiting www.endpolionow.org. David Andrews Four more years: Durham citizens vote The ballots have been counted. The men and women who have put their names forward for election have been chosen and mandates provided. Now, voters must press for promises to be kept. Voters in municipalities around Durham Region elected mayors, councillors, public, Catholic and French school board trustees -- and for the first time, the Durham Region- al chairman -- to manage issues, tax rates, development, social services and more. Elector turnout was higher in some municipalities than others, as is the norm, but the responsibility with eligible vot- ers shouldn’t end with a cast ballot. It is the days, months and years ahead that will determine the success or failure of local government that citizens elected. To that end, we ask that voters make an effort to remain informed of issues that directly affect them. Make contact with your councillor, your school trustee, your mayor to engage them, to hold them accountable, bring them up to date on emerging issues of which they may be unaware, and ensure that the promises made prior to Oct. 27 are kept over the next four-year term of office. But we must also trust our own judgment and strike a balance that allows those we have elected to make the necessary deci- sions, debate issues, and oversee issues in good faith. Representing a municipality as a mem- ber of local government is a privilege. City or town councillors and school board trust- ees are sent to represent us in good faith. We trust that every single person elected or re-elected on Monday lives up to the expectations that come with that privilege. Accountability, responsibility, transparency and accessibility must be the key words that guide them. In the coming weeks and months, vet- erans and newcomers will begin the seri- ous work that lies ahead. We encourage an emphasis on decorum and leadership, especially at Oshawa council where pub- lic debates in the last four years have occa- sionally devolved into a chaos. We call on council and board leadership to work more effectively in promoting engagement and informing ratepayers of developing issues. Finally, we remind voters that local gov- ernment is a creation of the people, by the people. Engage, challenge and ques- tion. Demand fairness and accountability. Expect leadership and co-operation. The next four years are yours to shape in terms of local governance. Don’t abandon that responsibility just because you’ve filled in your ballot. Cleaning up , one litterbug at a time Along with why anyone would want to name their kid ‘Katniss’, I’ve never really understood why people litter. It’s like we’re two different species. Those who adore this beautiful planet and those who see it mere- ly as a 510,072,000 square-kilometre recep- tacle for their crap. In the past week alone, I have twice bumped up against this kind of ignorance. The first head-shaker arrived when Kathryn and I pulled into the parking lot for our early morning bike ride through the Durham For- est. There, on the gravel, close to the forest’s edge, sat an abandoned pool filter. Now, I don’t want to rush to judgment. Perhaps, in the next few weeks, more and more aquatic components will begin showing up in the parking lot; one day a ladder, the next a div- ing board, one of those cool, thatched roof cabanas? Perhaps, some wonderfully phil- anthropic swimming enthusiast is building, albeit slowly, a public pool to benefit those of us who ride and walk through the forest every day. I suppose that could happen. What is more likely, unfortunately, is that some short-sighted coward has decided to dump his detritus, under cover of darkness, somewhere far away from his own property. I mean, why pay the ridiculously exorbitant basic $5 dump fee when those five semo- lians could go to the purchase of something really important...like pork rinds? Of course, it never occurs to an individ- ual who spends $10 in gas driving around looking for an unobserved spot to dump his crud so he can save $5 at the dump, that his behaviour might not only make lit- tle economic sense but have further nega- tive repercussions, like the spoiling of wil- derness, animal habitat and natural beau- ty. That would require a conscience and a smattering of Grade 1 math. And let’s face it, there are pork rinds at stake. Short of the government legalizing a bounty on such people, there’s not much to be done about these types. We’ve always had them and we probably always will. I’m sure the morning after the birth of Jesus, Joseph walked out of the stable said, “Christ. Where did all these Shawarma wrappers come from?” Twas ever thus. What is more difficult to fathom is what we encountered on a visit to the cinema last Saturday evening. To fully grasp the jaw-dropping stupefaction of what we wit- nessed you need to know that this was a very important film. Its message was huge, seminal and resonant. When the movie ended, you could’ve heard a pin drop. What you couldn’t hear, unfortunately, was the sound of people picking up their garbage and removing it to the handily located waste containers which they would walk right by on the way out of the cinema. Kathryn and I were so moved by the film that we stayed until the lights came up. What we saw then disturbed us almost as much as the movie. The place was a disaster area. I kept look- ing around for Sean Penn or Brad Pitt, busy rebuilding houses. The mess generated by a half-empty theatre of 40-somethings, who should know better, was astonishing and sickening. We just stood there shaking our heads. And this was a seminal film. I know I’m harping, but the irony overwhelmed me. It was like finding used condoms after a screening of Schindler’s List. As we moved down past the unfortunate but dutiful cleanup crew, Kathryn who, bless her lovely heart, was born without a filter, made it clear to them how badly we felt that they had to deal with this complete- ly unnecessary mess and exactly what she thought of the idiots who’d left it there. Had she seen it while the crowd was still leaving, she would’ve given them an earful too. And good for her. When it comes to reminding people to be considerate of others and the environment we should all get rid of our fil- ters. Just take your pool filters to the dump. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. 10 Last-minute pumpkin-carving ideas Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in on topics of the day www.facebook.com/newsdurham Poll ON THE ROAD AGAIN?

Working for yourself Eight in 10 Canadian entrepreneurs say their financial situation is the same or bet- ter since they quit working for someone else and made the move to self-employ- ment, finds a new CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) poll. The tradeoff is that almost half of these entrepreneurs report working longer hours and having higher stress levels. However nine out of 10 entrepreneurs say that even with these factors, they are satisfied with their personal quality of life. Key findings of the poll include: •80 per cent of business owners say their financial situation is the same or even bet- ter than when they worked for someone else, with 26 per cent saying it is much bet- ter • 91 per cent of entrepreneurs say they are satisfied with their personal quality of life • 46 per cent work longer hours compared to when they were working for someone else, with 48 per cent saying they have higher stress levels “While it’s encouraging to see that the move to entrepreneurship is paying off, it’s important that business owners look long term to ensure a sustainable balance in their business and personal lives,” says Shelley Swanlund, Vice President, Busi- ness Banking and Head of Small Business, CIBC.

If a sudden accident happens and you aren’t focused, you don’t have the time to react. I am considered a “kid” to some people, being 20 and all, but when I am driving, my phone is in my bag. To the per- son who said that those who “shouldn’t drive” if they can’t do simple things, it should also apply to morons who can’t follow simple rules of the road such as stop signs, right of way and speed limits. Amy Immacolata Pag: OH PLEASE DO SO.....Too many distracted driv- ers out there....just this morning I saw someone putting on makeup and looking down at her phone at the same time.....I would love to see this fine in effect.... Sandra Simmons: I was riding home from Toronto this afternoon on a school bus and looked out the window at the car travelling beside the bus. The driver was texting and had neither hand on the steering wheel. This was on Highway 401 in very heavy traffic!!!! He should have had not only a fine but also the loss of his licence in my opinion. Ken Weir: Simply holding something shouldnt give you a ticket -- only if you are also weaving or becoming a danger. Kim Young: Cash grab. Some peo- ple can do simple things such as adjust the volume or station on a car radio. And some people can’t. Those who can’t.....shouldn’t drive. Jason Huhn: Drivers need to focus on the road and do other activities when pulling over if it’s safe to do so. 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 • Oc t o b e r 2 9 , 2 0 1 4 8 P 15%3DAY SALE THURSDAY,FRIDAY &SATURDAY Take an Additional 15% OFF Local Food & Drink, Events & Entertainment, Sports & Fitness and More!* At checkout, enter promo code:GOLOCAL $2050% off Buy Online: $18454% off Buy Online: $4569% off Buy Online: $11976% off Buy Online: $2456% off Buy Online: $99 FOR LASER GENESIS SKIN REJUVENATION FROM HOLISTIC SPA & LASER CLINIC IN AJAX (A $250 VALUE) $20 FOR A 12-PACK OF GRANITE COCKTAIL CHILLERS (A $40 VA LUE) $9960% off Buy Online: $3951% off Buy Online: $1550% off Buy Online: $1955% off Buy Online: Brought to you by Visit WagJag.com*Promotional code valid from October 30, 2014 at 12:01 AM EDT until November 1, 2014 at 11:59 PM EDT.

In the previous term, he’d often find himself the deciding factor on three-to-three votes. “I’m looking forward to a very produc- tive term,” he says. “There’s no question the City has an awful lot of opportunity if we can be courageous and cohesive enough to step up. And I look forward to taking it on.” He feels it’s fair for council to debate important items that need improvement, but members need to focus on the issues rather than creating them to make head- lines or to self-promote. “We have to work cohesively as a strong team that promotes the City,” he says. The council will look a little different in this upcoming term. Ward 1 Region- al Councillor Jennifer O’Connell and Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean remain. David Pickles has moved from Ward 3 City councillor to Ward 3 Region- al councillor, replacing outgoing coun- cillor Peter Rodrigues. In Coun. Pickles’ former seat will be Rick Johnson, a for- mer councillor who lost his regional seat in 2010. Ian Cumming will replace outgoing longtime Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson. Mayor Ryan said he wasn’t too sur- prised by the results, but he’d like to acknowledge the efforts of everyone on council last term. And he spoke with council members, some of whom he says agreed it’s time to move forward. “The first priority has to be jobs,” he says. “We need to expand our econom- ic base here in the city, our industry and community base, support our exist- ing residents but also the next residents coming in.” He says politicians do not create jobs, but they create an atmosphere that can attract businesses and jobs to the city, something that’s necessary as Pickering will grow in the coming years. He also wants to see an improved transportation system between Durham Region and particularly the City of Toron- to, which he is hopeful can be achieved with the election of Toronto mayor-elect John Tory, someone he has a good work- ing relationship with. “I’m very pleased John Tory is going to be the new mayor there,” he said. He found that over the last couple of terms, Toronto became more of a stand- alone city state. In the future, he hopes Mayor Tory will help create a more cohe- sive GTA. Mayor Ryan hopes to see a new hospi- tal campus in Pickering and is excited to see Pickering’s downtown to move for- ward. “We’re starting to build a social infra- structure that’s important to creating a city centre,” he says. Ryan hopes to move Pickering downtown plans forward RYAN from page 1 ‘‘The first priority has to be jobs.’ Mayor Dave Ryan PICKERING -- Mayor Dave Ryan got a hug from a supporter during his victory party at the Waterfront Bistro following his big municipal election win Oct. 27.

The Whitby-Oshawa MP died of a heart attack in April. Half a year later, CCPPP has named Mr. Flaherty P3 Champion for 2014. “It is hard to overstate the impor- tance of Jim Flaherty’s role in addressing Canada’s infrastructure deficit,” said Dale Richmond, chairman of CCPPP’s board. “He was a visionary who recognized that private sector skills and innovation can help governments to build better qual- ity infrastructure, while saving money for Canadian taxpayers.” The council recognized a number of Mr. Flaherty’s significant contributions to the sector. Among them: as Ontario finance minister, he laid the groundwork for the extensive use of P3s in the province today; and as federal finance minister, he creat- ed PPP Canada and launched successive Building Canada Plans, which have now allocated more than $2.5 billion that will leverage $10 billion in P3 projects across Canada. Mr. Flaherty was determined to ensure that Canada remains economically com- petitive with a high standard of living for its citizens, CCPPP said in a statement. At a time when govern- ments were finding it difficult to set aside the resources to renew infrastructure and meet the demands of a growing popula- tion, Mr. Flaherty invested to make the Canadian P3 model an undisputed suc- cess. Mr. Flaherty will be recognized at CCPPP’s 22nd annual National Confer- ence on Nov. 4 in Toronto. The Champion Award is presented periodically to individ- uals who have made an outstanding con- tribution to public-private partnerships in Canada either from the public or pri- vate sector. Mr. Flaherty’s widow, Chris- tine Elliott, MPP for Whitby-Oshawa, will accept the award.

In a surprise move last week, Tuchner fired GM/head coach Mike Galati, who had the team in first place in the North Division of the Ontario Junior Hock- ey League standings at the time. It’s the second time Galati has been let go from the team, having been replaced by previ- ous owner Rob Stein, but re-hired when Tuchner bought the team from Stein in 2012. “I think Mike did a great job. I have no negatives to say about his dedication, his effort, intellect or what he accom- plished here,” said Tuchner of the part- ing. “It’s nothing to do with him, but the next three to five years where we want to get to as a program and what we thought needed to take place.” Tuchner met with both Galati and assis- tant coach Jay Knuth last week to inform them of the dismissal. The new GM/head coach is Matt Muir. The Panthers have also added NHL Hall of Fame defenceman Paul Coffey to the staff. His son, Blake, is a draft pick of the Windsor Spitfires and a rookie defence- man with the Panthers this season. While the role has yet to be given a title, Tuch- ner said Coffey will have full access to the hockey operations. “I wanted the input of Paul and I need- ed a coaching staff that was accepting of his opinions,” said Tuchner. “I think we’re not only going to build the best program in junior, I think we’re going to elevate the whole league. “From what we took over to where we are today, it was an incredible job done. But I now have access to, in my opinion, one of the great minds in hockey and I’m going to use it. I don’t think that great mind will lead the organization astray.” Galati, who was originally reluctant to comment, did offer the following: “It’s unfortunate because we started from scratch here and I thought we did a good job of building, not only a team, but a franchise. Kids are wanting to come play here now instead of wanting to get out.” After Coffey informed the players of the change in leadership behind the bench, the Panthers earned a home-ice 4-4 tie with Orangeville on Friday, then lost 7-3 in Wellington on Sunday. Muir, who has experience at the junior level, most recently in Jr. C with the Uxbridge Bruins, was behind the bench for both games. Muir’s hiring came on the recommen- dation of Coffey, said Tuchner. While his role is still evolving, Tuchner said Coffey is expected to be an eye in the sky during games, help on ice during practices and be behind the bench if needed. The Panthers (8-5-1-3) head into the weekend in second place in the North Division with 20 points, six behind Auro- ra. Newmarket (18) is two points back in third, while Stouffville and Lindsay are tied with 17 points each. The Panthers will entertain Kingston on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recreation Complex, then head to St. Michael’s on Sunday and Buffalo next Tuesday in the first two of five straight road games. Pickering Panthers make a change PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers owner Steve Tuchner fired GM/head coach Mike Galati and has replaced him with Matt Muir, who has assumed both roles. NHL hall of fame defenceman, Paul Coffey, has also been added to the staff. Photo by Walter Passarella Pickering’s Laura Dougall continues record breaking shutout streak University of Buffalo keeper makes history BUFFALO, NY -- University at Buffalo fresh- man women’s soccer goalkeeper Laura Dou- gall earned her 11th shutout Sunday, break- ing the UB program record for shutouts in a season and helping the team clinch the Mid America Conference (MAC) regular season title. This is only the second time in program history the University at Buffalo has won the MAC regular season title last earned in 2000. Dougall has tallied 65 saves in her first sea- son and has a goals against average of just 0.36, ranking her fourth in the NCAA. After 16 games, she has allowed just three goals in MAC play thus far and has a save percentage of .915 placing her first in the NCAA. Dougall improved to 12-1-3 on the season and is now tied for first place in program history in wins in a season. The Bulls start MAC Championship quar- ter-finals on Nov. 2 with home field advan- tage as the top seed in the MAC. Playoffs con- tinue on Nov. 7 and 9. The championship win would mean a place in the NCAA cham- pionship. Before leaving for Buffalo, Dougall trained with Durham FC and has played with both Ajax Football Club and the Pickering Soccer Club. She also had the opportunity to train with the national training program, travel- ling to Spain in 2012. In spring of 2014, as the team captain for the Dunbarton Spartans, she led the school soccer team to the OFSAA silver medal at the provincial championship and was named soccer team MVP.
