How to prepare for storms at home and on the roads Leeanna McLean lmclean@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Residents are still trapped and motorists continue to be stranded on road- ways as a snowstorm continues in parts of upstate New York. More than 1.5 metres of snow fell in several areas of Buffalo, with authorities suggesting totals could top two metres in southern parts of the city. Another estimated 30 to 60 centimetres is expected by Thursday. Strong winds and slick roads have caused many accidents, delays in municipal opera- tions and school closings. A 212-kilometre stretch of Thruway, the major highway across New York state, was closed due to wind gusts of more than 48 km/h. Closer to home, roads in Kawartha Lakes were closed due to poor visibility and icy conditions Tuesday evening. Police respond- ed to numerous complaints of vehicles stuck and abandoned on roadways. Is Durham Region prepared for the wrath of Old Man Winter? Here are a few tips to help ease your mind: Winter driving: • Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle ahead • Stay on main roads • Keep a phone charger in your car • Avoid using overdrive or cruise control • Slow down and move over for emergency vehicles • Never pass a snowplow on the right • Practice emergency braking to understand how your vehicle will react • Top up your windshield washer fluid • Clear all the snow from your vehicle (lights, hood, win- dows and trunk) so you can see and be seen • Give yourself time to get where you are going safely • Drive according to the road conditions. Slow down in the snow and adjust your driving • If you hit an icy patch or find yourself in a skid, take your foot off the brake or accelerator, look and steer in the direc- tion you want your car to go • If broken down, activate your four-way emergency lights and attempt to safely pull over to the side of the road. If you choose to exit your vehicle, stay away from oncoming traffic and if you choose to stay in your car, keep your seat belt on • If trapped in a snowbank, do not overexert yourself. When it is safe, check that your tailpipe is not blocked by snow and return to your vehicle and wait for help • Pack an emergency kit consisting of an ice scraper, snow brush, shovel, booster cables, snacks, first aid kit, canned candle, matches, flashlight, extra batteries, phone charger, blankets and a tool kit. Source: CAA Around the home: • Listen to the radio and watch the TV for weather warnings and updates • If outside, avoid proximity to telephone poles, power lines, tall trees and open spaces • Shelter inside, stay away from outside walls and windows • Drive only if absolutely necessary • Carry a cellphone • Keep an emergency kit in your home (food, can opener, water, first aid kit, change of clothing, flashlight and bat- teries, medication, cash, blankets, whistle, important paper documentation, matches, small tool kit) and create a family emergency plan (evacuation preparations) • Ensure that the doors of refrigerators and freezers are closed to keep food cool for longer periods of time • Use battery or crank-operated flashlights and lanterns to light your home, avoid candles and kerosene lanterns, which pose potential fire risks • Turn off all gas appliances Source: Region of Durham BARRIE -- Even when winter arrives a couple of weeks early, city residents are ready. James Lumsden was out blowing snow first thing on Wednesday morning. Free brochure from Region can help Durham residents prepare for winter DURHAM -- Emergencies can happen at any time, so it’s important that local residents are always ready. The Regional Municipality of Dur- ham’s Emergency Management Office is reminding residents to be prepared for emergencies this winter, such as the potential for severe weather, including winter storms, blizzards, freezing rain, heavy snowfall, extended cold tempera- tures and wind chills. Education and preparedness are the best defence for reducing the impact of an emergency situation, says the Region. The Region and its local area munici- palities have emergency plans and pro- grams in place, however, it’s impor- tant that individuals and families have planned for one. Residents are encouraged to have an emergency kit in vehicles, in addition to an at-home emergency kit. For more details on what should be included in the kits (refer to ‘Checklists for You’), or more information on emergency pre- paredness, visit www.durham.ca/demo.

Video captures suspects in Pickering clothing store theft Durham police trying to determine if suspects responsible for other similar GTA thefts PICKERING -- Police are looking to identi- fy four suspects caught on security camera after a large amount of clothing was stolen from a store in Pickering. Durham Regional Police have video of the incident, which took place on Sunday, Nov. 9, between 3 and 4 p.m. at In2Sports on Brock Road. Police say a woman distracted the lone employee while three men selected various clothing items and stuffed them into a large bag. The three men made gestures to each other to coordinate their actions, say police. The first suspect is a black man with a light complexion, 40 to 45 years old, six feet tall with a slim build, dark thinning hair, a goatee, and wearing a red winter coat, blue jeans, and glasses. The second is described as a Hispanic man, 35 to 40 years old, five feet five inches tall with a heavy build, short dark hair, and wearing a black winter coat, and blue jeans. The third man is white, 40 to 45 years old, five feet 10 inches tall with a thin build, short, dark hair and wearing a black leather jacket, blue jeans and black running shoes. The female suspect is described as black, 30 to 35 years old, five feet tall with a medi- um build, with short, black hair and wear- ing a red, puffy coat, black jeans and glasses. Investigators are trying to determine if the suspects are responsible for other similar thefts across the GTA. Anyone with information is asked to call Det.

A team of cops will be out on the region’s streets and roadways each night from Nov. 20 until the arrival of the new year, looking to catch and charge motorists who insist on driving after they’ve been drinking. “Durham Region has one of the best RIDE programs in all of Can- ada,” Oshawa Mayor John Henry, a member of the police services board, said during a launch cere- mony for the campaign Tuesday. “If you drink and drive, you’re going to get caught,” he said. “It’s just a matter of time.” The statistics resulting from Durham’s aggressive Festive RIDE program are startling: Over the past four years they’ve laid 532 impaired driving charges, 107 last year alone. Those charges have brought a 90 per cent con- viction rate, police Chief Paul Martin said during the launch in Whitby. “Not only are you going to get caught, you’re probably going to be convicted,” said the chief. He said Durham’s intelligence- led approach to RIDE enforce- ment -- teams are deployed to areas where stats show they’re most likely to encounter drunk drivers -- has been the key to the annual success of the program. “That helps us get our people in the right place, at the right time, to get drunk drivers off the road,” said Chief Martin. “Please don’t drink and drive because if you do, we will be there.” Once again police are team- ing with GO Transit and Durham Region Transit to encourage peo- ple to seek out safe alternatives for getting about during the holi- days. The ongoing RIDE initiative was applauded by Michelle Crabb, who has been a vocal member of Mothers Against Drunk Driv- ing since losing her brother in an impaired driving crash several years ago. “I can’t begin to describe the pain and grief this has caused my family,” she said. “No one should die because of a wrong decision.” Police will release results of the Festive RIDE campaign weekly until its conclusion in early Janu- ary. ‘You’re going to get caught’ Durham cops warn drunk drivers WHITBY -- Durham Regional Police Chief Paul Martin launched the start of the annual Festive RIDE campaign during a media event at Landmark Cinemas. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Durham man hurt after being thrown from ATV, run over Victim, 57, says accelerator stuck: Durham police BROCK -- A Brock man was seri- ously injured Tuesday evening after he was thrown from an ATV and then struck by the runaway machine. The man, 57, was driving the recreational vehicle around 6:45 p.m. on Nov. 18 in Cannington when the throttle appeared to stick and the vehicle accelerated out of control, say Durham police. The man was thrown from the ATV, which then spun around and struck him, add authorities. The vehicle struck a hydro pole and then a door at the Canning- ton fire hall before coming to a stop, say police. Witnesses at the scene helped the victim and called 911. The man was ini- tially taken to a local hospital, but was then trans- ferred to a Toronto-area trauma centre where he is listed in stable condi- tion with serious internal injuries. The ATV, a red 2010 Arctic Cat, was heavily damaged and impounded for inspection. Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Knight of North Division at 905-579-1520, extension 2195.

All content copyright Best tribute to Flaherty would be cancellation of income splitting To the editor: Re: Federal government announcement on income splitting for families. What Stephen Harper really meant to say in his Oct. 30 announcement: “All families are equal, but some fami- lies are more equal than others. That’s why today I am pleased to announce income splitting for Canada’s richest families.” The best tribute the Conserva- tives could give Jim Flaherty would be to cancel their election pledge for income splitting, which would benefit only a small percentage of Canadian families. Last February, Mr. Flaherty ques- tioned the fairness of this relatively narrowly cast pledge. According to the C.D. Howe Insti- tute, 85 per cent of Canadian house- holds would gain nothing from the measure. David Buckna Kelowna, B.C. That time I got kicked out of a Harper rally and why the Conservatives are in trouble I’ve probably attended four or five Stephen Harper rallies in Durham in the past few years and not once has the prime minister taken a question from the local media. Frankly they make for fairly boring and repetitive stories. During the recent Whitby-Oshawa byelec- tion, Mr. Harper stopped by Whitby for another rally but this time the PM was slated to stay for a half hour or so and pose for photos with people. A line quickly formed. I thought OK, at least I can add a bit of local content by interviewing some of the folks who got their pics snapped and talk to them about why they were so giddy to meet the PM. I walked up to the area and was promptly nabbed by a media handler. I explained what I wanted to do but she insisted that the media had already left and I had to leave too. She offered to supply photos taken by Harper staffers but firmly stated I had to go. The end result? No story and the first time I’ve ever been kicked out of a political event. Now, voters don’t care about the dynamic between politicians and the media but that kind of behaviour is in stark contrast to Justin Trudeau’s many visits to Durham during the same byelec- tion. The NDP dismissed Mr. Trudeau’s appear- ance at a local Costco and OHL hockey game as “flash and flare” but my Facebook stream was filled with photos of it and our stories about Mr. Trudeau’s visits were well read. That’s the kind of retail politics that plays well with the average voter, the voter who probably didn’t bother to vote in the byelection but will cast a ballot in 2015. Michael Ignatieff was never able to connect with those regular folks and if Mr. Trudeau can, Mr. Harper can rally his faithful every day from now to election day and still watch his party suffer significant losses. Reka Szekely Reporter Social Media Rouge Valley to be commended on Ebola file It’s prudent for our local hospital to be vigilant and prepared where Ebola virus disease is concerned. In fact, Rouge Valley Health System man- agement has been providing regular updates to its board since April, says RVHS chair Joan Wideman in a letter to local political leaders. The Province introduced Ebola preparedness directives around six months later. The RVHS has enacted a number of safe- ty measures and procedures at both its Ajax and Scarborough sites. Since late July, staff has been receiving ongoing training on Ebola protocols, including new protective gear. The latter has been ordered in such quantity that if the disease is discovered here, RVHS says its transmission will be prevented. As well, internal bulletins, Town Hall meet- ings and other communications are being used to educate staff. An Ebola public information web page was created on Oct. 3 and an Incident Command Centre was established on Oct. 15, with hos- pital leaders meeting daily to talk about Ebola preparedness. Standard procedures in place include enhanced screening at the triage desk in the emergency departments, isolation proto- cols for patients and protocols for managing waste and contaminated linen. One may think Ebola is not a threat to us here in Ajax and Pickering. However the seri- ousness of this deadly disease, which has claimed thousands of lives and has West Africans living in fear, is not to be underesti- mated. The situation in Texas, where hospital staff seemed unprepared to deal with Ebola when it appeared there and spread, is a les- son for hospitals and communities around the world. The SARS outbreak in Toronto outlined clearly how a disease mainly thought to be affecting those overseas could arrive on our doorstep. Besides, the world is a lot smaller than it used to be, and we don’t just mean in terms of technology and its reach. Air travel means we can be almost anywhere in the world in fairly short order. Therefore it’s wise and entirely appropri- ate for our hospital leaders to consider this a very real possibility so they can be ready to respond. The time to prepare for trouble is before it happens. The RVHS was on the file months before the disease arrived on our conti- nent and before provincial directives were released. Ajax and Pickering residents can feel confi- dent that if a case of Ebola was to crop up in our hospital, measures are in place to contain it and prevent an outbreak. --- Ajax Pickering News Advertiser e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / letter writers are obliged to back up statements with verifiable facts / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ durhamregion.com 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP We have a winner. 539 Slots • 60 Table Games www.greatblueheroncasino.com Port Perry, ON Must be 19 years of age or older to participate.Valid government issued photo identification may be required.

Durham residents beware of phoney salespeople DURHAM -- The Region’s works depart- ment is warning residents about individ- uals falsely representing themselves as water filtration salespeople trying to gain access into homes in Durham. People currently going door-to-door may imply they are working for the Region of Durham to install a water filtration system. If someone shows up at their front door, residents should remember the follow- ing to protect themselves from scams: ask for identification - all Regional employees and authorized contractors carry photo ID; Regional staff will not visit without a prior appointment when replacing or upgrading water meters; don’t feel pres- sured to sign contracts or papers on the spot; never give out personal informa- tion; and the Region will never test water in a house without a scheduled appoint- ment -- the Region samples water from hydrants on the street. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 8 P Pickering says money, environment reasons not to clear trail Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering resident wants the Waterfront Trail clear of snow and ice, much like the portion in Ajax. “We are literally a two-minute walk from the Waterfront Trail and we can’t use it safely in the winter,” says Rosi Vanderhei- jden, a former 15-year Ajax resident. Ms. Vanderheijden moved to Pickering two years ago in order to downsize and to be close to the waterfront. “In Ajax, the trails are clear,” says Ms. Vanderheijden, who maintains the sec- tion off of Elvira Court is especially treacherous. But the active resident has found instead of enjoying the Waterfront Trail in the winter months, she has to take alter- nate routes, sometimes the side of the road, in order to avoid slipping and slid- ing while going on runs or walks with her dog. “I feel we should have the same level of service as the people in Ajax,” she says. She knows factors such as cost and salt, which can be detrimental to the environ- ment, need to be considered. “I’m not asking them to salt them, I’m asking them to clear them,” she says. Rob Gagen, Pickering’s supervisor of parks and operations, says if the City clears the Waterfront Trail, it would have to salt it to keep the trail from getting icy as safety and liability are very real con- cerns for the City. Drainage ditches feed into the lake and the City doesn’t want the salt to run off into the water. “Salt is basically a contaminant,” he says. Even sand contains six per cent salt to keep it from freezing, he adds. “To maintain the integrity of our natu- ralized waterfront we made a decision years ago not to winter maintain it,” Mr. Gagen says. Cost is also a concern. “Plowing and salting every year contribute to deg- radation of the asphalt surface which requires a ton of money to repair,” he says. Since a num- ber of areas are impossible to reach with a plow, and the boardwalk near Millen- nium Square cannot handle the weight of machines, the work would have to be done by hand, says Mr. Gagen, adding this is not only costly but time consuming. Ms. Vanderheijden has met with Mayor Dave Ryan and has started a petition (http://bit. ly/1t2pxEH), which had received 85 sig- natures as of press time. She plans to present the petition to the City. “Maintaining the Waterfront Trail would give us a beau- tiful, safe place to stay active year-round,” she wrote on the peti- tion. Tim Field, manager of environmental services for Ajax, said the Town uses salt when it clears the trail, but the smallest amount possible. “The Town of Ajax does have concerns with the salt usage and we’re looking at alternative methods of clearing snow and ice on our pathways,” he says. The Town also acknowledges the large number of people who use the trail on a regular and yearly basis. “We want to try our best to keep the trail open for residents,” he says. Oshawa and Whitby maintain their Waterfront trails in the winter. Howev- er, Whitby only maintains the area from South Blair Street going east to Thickson Road.

Royal LePage announced on Friday that Coldwell Banker Case Realty joined forces with Royal LePage Connect Real- ty, effective immediately. The agency will operate under as Royal LePage Connect Realty, and it brings together 376 agents in six locations in the Greater Toronto Area, from Pickering and Ajax spanning to Toronto’s west end. “We are thrilled that the renowned Case Realty team has chosen Royal LeP- age as their new home, from which to build on their 62-year legacy of success in the highly competitive GTA market,” Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage, said in a press release. “This move is truly a reflection of Royal LePage’s growth momentum as a strong, nationally respected brand and leader in the Canadian real estate mar- ket. I speak for the entire team when I say that we look forward to working with our new agents in the weeks and months ahead.” Case Realty owner Pamela Case added, “We have been a successful bro- kerage for six decades because we have always put our agents and their suc- cess first. In this increasingly competi- tive market, this new affiliation with Royal LePage, one of the most respected and prominent names in Canadian real estate, will ensure our agents have the strongest presence and recognition in their communities and for their custom- ers. We are delighted to be joining Con- nect, one of the best-managed and fast- est-growing Royal LePage brokerages in the region.” “The Case Realty team of talented agents brings a culture of success, much like our own, and we are excited about working together in this next chapter -- now as one of the largest Royal LeP- age brokerages in Canada -- to create an even stronger business for everyone involved,” said Kira Cope, broker/owner of Royal LePage Connect Realty.

Sunday thru Thursday Night out in Cadillac Stretch Limo$14946% savings Only one new councillor in Pickering Cumming elected city councillor in Ward 2; Johnson takes over as Ward 3 councillor after one term off Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- While the shape of Pickering council will change for the next term, Ian Cumming will be the only new face. Mr. Cumming will take the Ward 2 City council seat in the next term after defeat- ing incumbent Doug Dickerson. “I had a good feel- ing,” Mr. Cumming said of his second run against the long-time councillor. Former Pickering councillor Rick Johnson lost in the 2010 election to Ward 3 Region- al Councillor Peter Rodrigues, but he will return for the next term. On Oct. 27, David Pickles, who is the outgoing Ward 3 City councillor, defeated Coun. Rodrigues. Mr. Johnson won the seat for Ward 3 City coun- cillor. Mr. Cumming says in the previous term, he saw two different voting blocks when it came to council decisions, but he’s hopeful that things will be different in the new term. “I’ve spoken to each of the other council- lors and I’m optimistic we’re going to have a better, more workable council the next four years,” he says. Mr. Cumming isn’t too intimidated about being new to a veteran council. “I’m excited to get in there,” he says. “I’ve looked at it all from the outside. Do I know what it’s all about? No. But I’ve faced a lot of things in my life. I’m not worried about one more.” In his career, Mr. Cumming is involved in starting up companies, and hopes some of the people who he helps will set up their business in Pickering as he believes bringing employment to the city is key to managing taxes. “One of the things I’m going to do, because this is where I sleep and eat and every- thing else, I’m going to say to these people if I’m going to help you find the money I’m going to want you to start your business in Pickering.” He wants Pickering to be a city where locals go to Durham College and get a good job in Durham, instead of commuting into Toron- to. He admits it sounds “corny,” but the 40-year Pickering resident genuinely believes the city can be better than it is and hopes he can contribute to that. “Things take time but my goal is to say I’ve managed to get some things started,” he says.

Former UOIT president applauds science museum funding Gary Polonsky says science and technology key to future generations Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com OTTAWA -- The founding president of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology is pleased that the govern- ment recognizes the value of science and technology in the country. “(The Government of Canada) gets that innovation is where your kids and my grandkids are going to make their mark,” said Gary Polonsky, the former Durham College and UOIT president and current chairman of the Canada Sci- ence and Technology Museums Corpo- ration. The federal government has announced an $80.5-million investment to repair and upgrade the Canada Sci- ence and Technology Museum in Otta- wa. “The prime minister has been heard to say a three-word sentence: ‘Innovation powers commerce.’ It’s a direct quote from him and he’s right. I think all Cana- dians pretty much know that these days,” Mr. Polonsky said. “That’s part of the reason UOIT is so successful off the top with over 10,000 students already.” Specifically, the funds will go toward: removing the mould and replacing the museum’s roof, which will stop leaks and ensure that artifacts and exhibitions are no longer in danger of damage; retrofit- ting and upgrading the museum’s exhi- bition spaces and floor space; upgrading the building’s fire-suppression systems and its seismic structural strength; and bringing the museum’s exterior façade up to date to match the new, modern interior. “The building incurred a critical prob- lem several months ago with asbestos and mould and a sunken ceiling,” Mr. Polonsky said. “All that has to be done as a priority, but there will be some left over to launch the space age chapter of (the museum).” This new chapter will include new dig- ital elements both at the museum and through online apps. “We’ll be able to connect with every kid in every classroom and every kitchen coast to coast to coast and it’s exciting,” Mr. Polonsky said. The museum is scheduled to re-open in 2017. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 18 AP Coordinated by: Nominations will be accepted until November 30 Contact this newspaper or the Ontario Community Newspapers Association at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or 905.639.8720 ext.221 Making a differenceOneStarataTime Sponsored by: NOMINATE SOMEONE TODAY!

Not necessarily. Hearing loss can develop very slowly over many years making it hard to recognize but often friends and family will notice even before you do. Even a mild hearing loss can interfere, making it hard for people to understand what’s being said. Q. Are there operations or medications I can take for hearing loss? A. Veryfewadults’hearingcanbeimprovedmedicallyorsurgically.Thevastmajorityof Canadians with hearing loss (95%) are treated with hearing aids. Q. What’s the next step? A. Call one of our offices to have your hearing tested thoroughly. Our professional staff will explain the results to you and advise you on what’s best. Untreated hearing loss causes the brain to gradually lose some of its information processing ability called ‘Auditory Deprivation’. Hearing aids will help. Q. Do I need new hearing aids? A. You may be due for something New...Research shows that most people change their hearing aids every 3 to 4 years. The most common reason for change is that people want Newer Technology. Our Clinics ONLY offer Newer Technology. “We do not pass on old or discontinued technology to our patients---we never have and we never will---that’s just who we are!” Written by Audiologists Renee Giroux and Lila O’Neill.

The artist on stage was Neil Young. That night was the beginning of a life-long inter- est in and love of the man and his work. It has all culminated in Wilson’s debut book, Young Neil: The Sugar Mountain Years, just published by ECW. “I first became interested in Neil Young when I was 15 years of age,” says Wilson. “I knew he was in Buffalo Springfield and I liked a few songs because my sister had their records. I heard Only Love Can Break Your Heart on CHUM AM in 1970. I went out and bought After The Gold Rush and then I saw him at Massey Hall and I was captivat- ed with that. I was a fan from that point on. I loved his music; the melodies. the lyrics really spoke to me. I loved his voice even in all its imperfections... and his whole Cana- dian experience. He was from Toronto and he had his childhood here.” Young’s childhood, the sugar mountain years, are the subject of Wilson’s meticu- lously researched biography. Over five and a half years, she interviewed former class- mates, teachers, friends, family, neighbours, band mates, anyone she could find who knew Young from his birth in TO through to his years in Omemee, his tweens living along Brock Road in Pickering and onto his life in Winnipeg after his parents, writer Scott and Rassy Young, divorced. The years 1945 to 1966 are covered. “Anyone who grew up in rural Ontario, Toronto or Winnipeg would find much to recognize in Neil’s early experiences,” says Wilson. “His adult songwriting draws on people and places from his early years in Canada.” While several books have been written about Young’s Canadian upbringing, even by Young himself, it is his time in Pickering (Grade 5 to 8) that has been somewhat over- looked in the telling of the tale. That is until now. Young has said he was first turned onto music on Brock Road listening to The Way- ward Wind on his transistor radio as trains passed in the night. “In a lonely shack by a railroad track/He spent his younger days/ and I guess the sound of the outward-bound/made him a slave to his wand’rin ways” -- one can see how the Gogi Grant classic would have had meaning for the young lad.He recorded the song for his 1985 album, Old Ways. His home was at RR #1 Brock Road, oppo- site the Pickering Golf Course, just south of the railroad tracks. While the house is no longer there the plot has not been devel- oped. In the 2012 film Journeys, Young and director Jonathan Demme stop at the site to shoot. While it is unfortunate Wilson’s book contains no maps so one could track the area there is a websitewww.youngneil.com where further information is available. Wilson was fortunate, however, to have been granted access to Scott Young’s archives at Trent University. The book includes more than 130 photographs, some never published. Scott was a man who kept everything, even family notes. One yel- lowed piece of paper is a reminder to Neil from Dad to lock up chickens. At 10 years of age, Young had decided to get into the chicken-farming business. His older brother, Bob, helped him build a coop out back of the acre-and-a-half property. He was quite proud of it and he became well known for the business as he sold eggs door to door. But Neil’s entrepreneurial spirit extended beyond poultry. He had a news- paper route and would also look for lost golf balls to sell across the road. With this fact-based and enjoyable book now available it can be said that Pickering was a place of great influence on the Cana- dian icon’s future life. Young’s first instru- ment, a ukulele, was purchased from Mid- dleton’s Store. All those songs about love and breaking hearts started with his first kiss on the bridge over Duffin’s Creek. A school friend, Marilyn LaBrie, was the girl. Even his business acumen had roots in this rural idyll. Perhaps his appreciation for Mother Nature was nurtured in the country lanes walked to and from school. Some 60 years later Young continues his creative streak. He releases one project after another. He is never far from the headlines. Wilson’s book has entered its second run; the initial printing was 3,000. That speaks to the popularity of Neil Young but also to Wil- son’s clean, unfettered writing style. Young Neil is a book that belongs on the shelf with Jimmy McDonough’s authoritative biogra- phy, Shakey, and with Young’s own mem- oirs. Wilson has filled in the gaps and shown how seeds of Neil Young’s creativity are to be found here. Her own journey into his past has yielded a harvest all of us in Dur- ham Region can share in and be proud of. William McGuirk is a freelance writer and longtime Oshawa resident.

Ron Pietroniro / Metroland 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 24 P Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 White special with Special Olympics Track coach honoured by Ontario Coaches Association for work Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- It’s almost as though destiny was in play when Janet White joined the Great- er Durham chapter of Special Olympics Ontario as a track coach. Eight years later, the Pickering Village resident was honoured with the Everyone Matters award from the Ontario Coaches Association, with a special presentation in Toronto. She started innocently enough eight years ago as a parent in the Special Olym- pics program when her daughter, Vanessa, joined a learn to skate program. When the skating program concluded with the arriv- al of spring, Vanessa’s interest switched to track and field, and White followed. “The organizer asked if there was any- one who had any experience coaching,” says White, picking up the story. “Some of the parents said, ‘Janet’s a gym teacher, she must know something.’ In fact, I had been coaching high school track and field for 20 years, so I said I was more than happy to help.” Her expertise, experience and passion was evident from the beginning, and within a year, she was named the club’s head coach. It’s been eight years, and her daughter, who started at age 16, is still involved. While White’s resume was extensive in coaching track prior to taking over the local program, the dynamics with Special Olympics is certainly different. “Special Olympics offers a different per- spective. From a coaching perspective, the way I have to look at skill breakdown and find different ways in order for them to achieve their physical best. “Psychologically it’s very similar to any other coaching. You have to know what motivates your athletes.” The wins and losses aren’t near as impor- tant as the achievements along the way, White points out. The things coaches and athletes take for granted are celebrated at the Special Olympics level. Much of the focus is creating an environment for the athletes to thrive in. “The achievement. How far they’ve come,” says White of the small celebra- tions. “From not being able to stay in their lane, to being able to stay in their lane down the straight and around the curb. These are huge things that I don’t think about when I coach high school.” A phys-ed teacher at Whitby’s Anderson Collegiate for 13 years before joining the special education program at Pickering High School two years ago, White deflects some of her accolades to the support staff with the local group that trains at St. Mary. On staff are about 10 assistant coaches, many of them former students of White’s, who serve as the strength of the program, she says. The program has grown over time, with about 20 members eight years ago, to 50 now, with 30-40 attending each practice. AJAX -- Janet White is a track coach with the Special Olympics Ontario - Greater Durham based at St. Mary in Pickering. She was recently presented with the Everyone Matters Award from the Ontario Coaches Association for her tireless work. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland St. Mary LOSSA champions PICKERING -- The St. Mary Monarchs junior girls’ basketball team won the LOSSA championship with a convincing 54-24 victory over Pickering in the gold medal game. Team members include Natalie Dean, Cyanna King, Jasmin Reason, Keishana Washington, Tonaya Blackstock, Taylor White, Shekinah McClymont, Zeina Abujurji, Audrey Vicencio, Mackenzie Burke. Coaches are Ian Gogolek, Nikki Reason and Laura Speirs. Submitted photo Pickering Panthers manager and hockey dad honoured KINGSTON -- On Saturday Nov. 15, the minor bantam AA Kingston Canadians and Pickering Panthers paid tribute to Panther’s manager Dave Campbell, who passed away the previous weekend due to a brain aneurism. In a pregame ceremony the Canadians presented a Kingston Canadians num- ber 33 jersey that was signed by the entire team and coaching staff. The sweater was accepted by the Panther’s captain, assis- tant captains and head coach Mike Davis. Nathan Campbell, Dave’s son, is a goalten- der for the Panthers and wears number 33. The Canadians also presented a donation that will go toward the Campbell Family Trust. Campbell was a big teddy bear who was always ready with a quick joke and warm smile. Hundreds of friends, family and hockey friends turned out for a very touch- ing ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 12. Guests were invited to wear hockey jer- seys to honour Dave’s memory and his love of the game. His daughter Shelia and her team, the peewee Durham West Light- ning and the Pickering Panthers all wore their home Jerseys, with many of the par- ents wearing their child’s away jersey. In a particularly touching moment before the funeral proceedings, the entire Lightning team encircled Dave’s casket and gave him a group hug. Dave’s wife Darlene was very appre- ciative of all of the support from family and friends and other teams such as the Kingston Canadians. Other teams have honoured Dave with a moment of silence before puck drop. The rinks are certainly a more empty place without him. Those wishing to make a donation to the family trust can do so at TD Canada Trust account number 1802-6486213 Institution #004. 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 • No v e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 25 AP Internships available for most programs!
