The Kinsmen and Kinette Club of Pickering ran their 45th consecutive
Santa Claus parade on Saturday, November 29th, 2014. This year’s parade
consisted of 83 floats and 12 bands.
This year’s parade Co-Chairs, Andy O’Connor and Michelle Maxim, would
like to thank the City of Pickering Community Services Division, Operations
and Facilities Division and Bylaws staff; the Durham Regional Police and
their 23 auxiliary police officers, the “856” Pickering Kinsmen Air Cadet
Squadron, the Pickering Town Centre, Rogers Cable plus the South
Pickering Amateur Radio Club. Without the total co-operation of these
groups it would not be possible to run the parade.
Many thanks also to the many volunteer groups for participating in the
parade; without them, there wouldn’t be a parade. Thanks also to Village
Chrysler and Forsythe Haulage for donating vehicles used in the parade.
Thank you to System Music Warehouse for donating Santa’s sound system
and Dancosigns for donating signs for the dignitaries vehicles.
Thank you to the following sponsors for their financial assistance: Pickering
Town Centre, City of Pickering, McDonald’s Restaurants and Ontario Power

GO fares
for Durham
riders
New ticket prices
could go up by
10 to 50 cents
DURHAM -- Commuters using GO Transit
in Durham will be seeing some changes
and possible fee increases in the New
Year.
GO Transit is seeking approval to
increase fares in 2015 that range from
a 10- to 50-cent rise based on the value
of fare. According to a GO Transit news
release, GO will ask the Metrolinx Board
on Dec. 11 to increase fare costs across
the board. GO fares vary depending on
distance travelled so the increases range
from adding 10 cents to minimum fares of
$5.20 to bumping fares greater than $8.25
up by 50 cents.
Starting in February, several GO bus
routes servicing Durham will see their
arrival and departures times fluctuate by
three to five minutes.
The affected routes include the 90
Lakeshore East GO bus, the 91 Lake-
shore East GO bus-train Meet, and the 92
Oshawa/Yorkdale GO bus.
Visit www.gotransit.com and look
for the schedule changes portion of the
website for new schedules and additional
information.
Should the new fees be approved,
they would go into effect Feb. 1.
Fast facts
Proposed GO single adult ride paper ticket
increases:
• 10-cent increase on the minimum fare of
$5.20
• 30-cent increase on fares between $5.21
and $6.50
• 40-cent increase on fares between $6.51
and $8.25
• 50-cent increase on fares greater than
$8.25

Bylaw department
says cat is in too much
pain to keep alive
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Nancy Gandhi is doing every-
thing she can to save a cat from being
euthanized in Ajax, but the Town of Ajax
still plans to put it down.
The Ajax resident had been feeding the
cat that she noticed around her home
before she chose to bring him inside.
When she brought him in, she realized
the cat was ill and chose to put him back
outside until she could take him to a vet-
erinarian on Monday, Dec. 8. She didn’t
want her own cat to get sick if the ill-
ness was contagious. She was still feed-
ing him and caring for him while he was
outside.
She had bought food, blankets, pet
bowls, a cat bed and a cat house, antici-
pating he would become her cat.
But on Saturday, Dec. 6, Ajax Animal
Services picked up the cat after receiv-
ing a phone call about a stray.
“The animal control officer that
attended was concerned that the cat
may have medical issues and was taken
to a licensed vet,” explained Sharon Wil-
liamson, supervisor of Ajax bylaw ser-
vices.
She said the cat was diagnosed with
a number of health concerns and was
transferred to the veterinarian that the
Town has on contract. That vet agreed
the cat has a number of problems
including heart, respiratory, thyroid,
chronic diarrhea, kidney problems and
great difficulty breathing, said Ms. Wil-
liamson.
The vet has decided the cat will have
to be euthanized. The Town couldn’t say
when that would happen.
“It’s suffering and it’s in the best inter-
est of the cat,” she said.
Ms. Gandhi said she had told Ajax Ani-
mal Services that she would take the
cat and get it the care it needs, which
included paying for medical costs.
“I will take full responsibility of this cat
any which way it goes,” she said.
She said she was under the impres-
sion she would be getting the cat until
she received an e-mail on Dec. 9 from a
bylaw officer stating the cat will not be
released.
According to Ms. Williamson, owners
have seven days from the time a stray is
taken into animal services to claim their
cat. However, she said in a situation
where a cat is severely ill, the decision to
have it euthanized may be made.
The president and founder of Cuddly
Cats Rescue and Sanctuary in Oshawa
was also willing to rescue the cat.
“These are the ones we want to save,
the ones everyone else gives up on,” said
Jackie Smith.
When the News Advertiser told Ms.
Williamson Cuddly Cats was willing to
help, she said it wasn’t an option.
“It’s unfortunate that sometimes diffi-
cult decisions have to be made but we
have to do what’s in the best interest of
the animal and that’s what we’re doing
in this case,” she said.
Ms. Smith said she could understand
that the Town might not wish to release
a cat to a resident, but doesn’t under-
stand why it wouldn’t release the cat to a
rescue willing to cover costs for care.
“Give the cat a chance,” she said.
When Ms. Gandhi was told the Town
was going to euthanize the cat, she said
she felt more could have been done, and
she wishes more would have been done
to locate the owner.
Ms. Williamson said if the owner of the
cat came forward, the Town would dis-
cuss different options with the owner.

Committee
approves
Pickering
cell tower
PICKERING -- The City’s planning
and development committee has
approved a revised plan for a cell
tower that will go near the top of
Liverpool Road in Pickering.
The 35-metre tower will be located
at 2325 Liverpool Rd. and has been
in the works for a couple of years in
order for Bell to provide better ser-
vice to customers in the Liverpool
Road and Rigby Drive area. Cur-
rently, the network is burdened by
poor voice and data quality in the
area.
When Bell first submitted the
application in 2012, it planned on
constructing a 45-metre high tower,
but received complaints from res-
idents concerned with potential
health effects and the visual impact
of the tower.
In July 2014, Bell revised the pro-
posal to reduce the height of the
tower to 35 metres and changed the
design to disguise the tower as a
tree.
“This particular cell tower is state
of the art,” said Ward 2 Regional
Councillor Bill McLean at the plan-
ning and development committee
meeting on Dec. 8.
Staff believes the tower will mini-
mize disruption of natural features
and is screened from Liverpool
Road.
The proposal will go to council for
final approval on Dec. 15.

It’s a conversation
most of us need to
have one day, so kudos
to the Rouge Valley
Health System for
encouraging talks about
an uncomfortable topic,
end-of-life care.
The organization, which operates the
Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hos-
pital, is in the midst of a community
discussion so it can better care for its
patients, and support their families,
when they are dealing with the end of a
person’s life.
Community focus groups invite resi-
dents to provide input -- you can take
part on Dec. 17 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at
Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering, in Con-
ference Room B and C on the ground
floor. RSVP by contacting Carmela
Fuoco at cfuoco@rougevalley.ca. You
are still invited to take part if you cannot
call ahead. A light dinner will be provid-
ed and parking is free.
Tough decisions face families when a
family member or loved one approaches
the end of their life. And we are not only
talking about patients who are literally
days or hours away from death, but also
those with a terminal illness or a condi-
tion for which there is no cure.
Ultimately, the patient’s comfort is the
most important consideration. Howev-
er family members may be called upon
to provide input or even make decisions
for a person unable to do so themselves.
Is the person better off in the hospital
or at home?
If an invasive surgery has little chance
of success, should it be performed?
These are some of the many questions.
Ideally, the patient has discussed the
issue with family beforehand, which
makes everything easier.
One issue that an Ajax resident raised
at a meeting was having a website or
even a consistent end-of-life contact
person at the hospital. Families want to
do their best for their loved one and they
likely have a number of questions to ask
and concerns to raise. However, with
employee shift changes, possible staff
turnover and perhaps a change in phy-
sicians, the last thing a family member
wants is to explain over and over who
their loved one is, why they are in the
hospital etc.
A dedicated staff member, aware of all
of the patients, who can establish a rap-
port with the family would be a tremen-
dous comfort and make things easier.
We encourage you to participate in this
important discussion to help the hospi-
tal better care for patients.

Talking to provide better care to patients

Kudos to Durham’s award-winning libraries
What’s not to like about our local libraries in Dur-
ham Region?
They’re great individually, offering varied and inter-
esting programs for people of all ages, from story-
time for toddlers and their parents to creative writing
for seniors. But it’s as a group that Durham’s libraries
really shine, so much so that they’ve won awards for
their joint efforts.
This fall, the libraries won a Durham Arts in Tran-
sition Creative Award (DATCA ) in the festival and
events category, for their How-To in 10 event.
Throughout April and May this year, each library held
its own program, with local experts lined up to talk to
the public about everything from creating family trees
to replacing a faucet in 10-minute segments.
Congratulations to all involved for the big win and
for putting on such a great event in the first place.
In 2012, the libraries received a DATCA for best
creative collaboration for their Pass the Book pro-
gram. The libraries picked one book and then encour-
aged everyone in their communities to read it, dis-
cuss it and share it. Each library put on special pro-
grams around the book.
Meanwhile, voting for the selection for Pass the
Book for 2015 closed and the winning book will be
announced in January just in time for Family Literacy
Day.
On the reading front, I managed to read two books
of several books published this fall that I singled out
as looking promising. I read Tell by Frances Itani and
Into The Blizzard: Walking the Fields of the New-
foundland Dead by Michael Winter.
These were both excellent books, I’m happy to
report.
The first, a novel, is set in Deseronto on the Bay
of Quinte, and looks at the lives of family members
dealing with the impact of the First World War. I was
pleased to find characters from Deafening, an earlier
book, in Tell.
In Into the Blizzard, the author follows the path of
the men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment from
their homes to the battlefields of the First World War,
and back again for some. It’s a powerful, thought-pro-
voking book.
Copy editor Christy Chase is now reading, for the first
time, The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence.
Better late than never.

Cash for cards scheme unscrupulous
To the editor:
Re: ‘NDP wants end to cash for gift cards
scheme’, news, durhamregion.com, Dec.
4, 2014.
I think it utterly appalling that loan
companies can exploit vulnerable peo-
ple in this manner.
How can we call ourselves a “civilized
society” when we allow such blatantly
unscrupulous looting of poor people’s
pockets?
Several years ago, I borrowed from
a loan company and arranged for the
payments to come out of my bank
account.
After the final payment had been
made, I was astonished to see another
deduction made the next month.
When I phoned and asked them to
reverse it, I was told that they would
not be doing that as the extra payment
was to be applied to my next loan.
I had my bank reverse the extra pay-
ment, and will never go near such insti-
tutions again.

Rouge Valley wants to
know how it can make it
easier for people nearing
the end of their life
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Marion Kapralos doesn’t want oth-
ers to feel lost in the system when it comes
to end-of-life care, the way she did when she
lost her mother.
She didn’t experience this at Rouge Val-
ley Ajax and Pickering Hospital, but she did
decide to attend a meeting there on Dec. 3 to
give input on the services she would like to
see as part of the end-of-life care it provides.
Rouge Valley is currently hosting focus
groups at both its Centenary and Ajax-Pick-
ering locations on how the hospital can bet-
ter provide services at the end of someone’s
life. The meetings are being led by members
of the hospital’s Community Advisory Group.
At this stage in a person’s life, they or family
members will have to make some important
and difficult decision on a number of issues
including pain management, whether they
want specific life supports and if they would
rather die at home or in the hospital.
“There are a number of resources in the
hospital to help support families at times of
crisis,” said Dr. Ari Bay, director for intensive
care at Rouge Valley.
These include social workers, clinical bio-
ethicists and palliative care physicians.
“Really one of the problems that we
encounter is that people haven’t really given
a lot of thought to how they are going to die,”
he said.
For example, people haven’t given clear
instructions on whether they want to be
resuscitated, or if they want to die a peaceful
and pain-free death.
“Ultimately it is the patients’ decision but
by the time they get to the point where they
go into the ICU, they are often unable to par-
ticipate in that decision-making process,” he
said.
Ms. Kapralos did know her mother’s wish-
es, but found the biggest obstacles were get-
ting answers to the questions she had and
relaying her mother’s wishes to the appropri-
ate person, and ensuring those wishes would
be met.
“I think the whole end-of-life thing is infor-
mation and speaking,” she said.
She found with nurses and doctors always
changing over, everyone simply relied on
charts for information on her mother.
“Where’s the continuity of care?” she said.
Ms. Kapralos, who also dealt with challeng-
es when she lost her father-in-law, said she
would have liked to have had just one person
at the hospital who could answer the fam-
ily’s questions, or one website she could visit,
type in questions and find answers.
Randy Filinski, chairman of Ajax-Picker-
ing CARP, has hosted panels on this topic in
the past, and is pleased the hospital is also
holding them. He agrees with Ms. Kapralos’
desire for a person to guide families along the
way.
“They need to make sure there is a single
person to have discussions, to be there with
family,” he said.
Dawnette Hoo-Hing, executive director
of Durham Hospice who also attended the
meeting, said the organization will read-
ily provide palliative care and bereavement
support to patients and families at the hospi-
tal.
“No matter where the clients are, it’s about
enhancing the quality of life until the very
end,” she said.
She said Durham Hospice provides a con-
sistency of one person that sees a person on a
weekly basis.
“They know the story they know the fam-
ily and they basically stay with them until the
end,” she says.
She’s hopeful Durham Hospice will have as
good a relationship in the future with Rouge
Valley and said discussions are ongoing to
make it better.
Sonja Shepherd, member co-ordinator
for Hearth Place who was at the meeting,
believes in quality end-of-life care.
“Every stage of life is important and most
people want to live with quality,” she said in
an e-mail. “Facing the end-of-life with qual-
ity and dignity is perhaps even more impor-
tant, because there is no ‘do over’, it is an
event when you want to and need to get it
right the first time.”
She believes open communication and
information sharing in the form of booklets
and a website, for example, would help fami-
lies and patients in this difficult time.
She feels the hospital could use a desig-
nated person or team to keep communica-
tion and information sharing consistent, and
available at all times during the end-of-life
process.
Ms. Kapralos would like to see some sort
of an end of life plan put in place that people
create for themselves.
Both Mr. Filinksi, Ms. Kapralos and Dr. Bay
said having frank discussions with families
in advance is important. The hospital often
receives living wills but the language is very
vague in many cases and can leave decisions
open to interpretation.
“In many instances we need to turn to the
patients’ families to make end of life deci-
sions, and we try to encourage the family to
make decisions based on what the patient
would have wanted if they were able to par-
ticipate in that discussion,” he said.
The hospital still wants feedback on how it
can improve care on the hospital’s end.
The final end-of-life meeting at the Ajax-
Pickering hospital will take place on Wednes-
day, Dec. 17 at 6:30 p.m. in Conference Room
B and C, 580 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax. Those
wishing to attend can contact Carmela Fuoco
at cfuoco@rougevalley.ca or 416-281-7288.
Parking and a light dinner will be provided.

End-of-life care
HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU
The Rouge Valley Health System
wants to know how it can improve
end-of-life care at the Ajax-Pickering
hospital.
Doctors, residents and care workers
feel it’s important that family mem-
bers talk about end-of-life wishes in
advance.
AJAX -- Marion Kapralos, at her home looking through an old family album, dealt first-hand with end-of-life care hurdles when
her mother died in April 2013. She attended a meeting at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering on Dec. 3 to share her thoughts on
how the hospital can help families and patients during this difficult time. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland

Durham Catholic
board creating
first all-French
school
Ajax families
raise concerns
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Big changes to French programs at
some Ajax schools have parents raising a
laundry list of concerns -- from English stu-
dents being treated like “second-class citi-
zens” to worries about overcrowding and
separated siblings.
The Durham Catholic District School
Board recently approved creating a “single-
track” French centre at St. Patrick Catholic
School effective September 2015.
This will be the board’s first single-track
school, which means it offers only French
immersion programs, as opposed to “dual
track,” which is a mix of French and English
classes.
As a result, English students in kindergar-
ten to Grade 5 at St. Patrick will be moved to
St. Jude Catholic School, while French pro-
grams at Mother Teresa Catholic School will
shift to St. Patrick.
Grade 6 and 7 English students at St. Pat-
rick have the option of staying until the end of
Grade 8.
At the Catholic board‘s Nov. 24 meeting,
trustees approved boundary changes related
to the new single-track model.
Jonathan Walsh was one of several con-
cerned parents who spoke at that meeting.
“This community did not ask for its Eng-
lish students to be treated like second-class
citizens,” he told trustees. “This community
did not ask to create a two-tiered education-
al system that does not treat all the members
of its community as equals. This communi-
ty did not ask to be polarized based on lan-
guage.”
Mr. Walsh said he is concerned that Eng-
lish students who are currently within walk-
ing distance to St. Patrick will now be bused
to St. Jude, and that those students will face
overcrowding at their new school.
Also upset was parent Lawrence Morsil-
lo, who said dividing students based on lan-
guage goes against Catholic teachings.
“Your plan is to uproot 40 per cent of the
students at St. Patrick and bus them to St.
Jude which is 104-per cent full,” he said, add-
ing parents are worried students transferred
to St. Jude will be relegated to portables.
Other issues voiced by parents included
having to change daycare providers and the
prospect of siblings being separated.
Board staff members say the changes were
made after lengthy investigation that includ-
ed a study of the board’s current French pro-
grams, a consultant study of the region’s
demographics and surveys sent out to fami-
lies.

Karley Davidson
winner of Virgin
Radio’s Make it
Merry contest
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Christmas is going to
be a little brighter for an Oshawa
mom-to-be, whose story captured
the hearts of people across the GTA.
Karley Davidson was recently
chosen as a winner in the annu-
al Make it Merry contest run by
Toronto radio station Virgin 99.9
FM.
When her best friend picked her
up on Dec. 3 for a day of fun in
Toronto, she had no idea what was
in store.
After arriving at the radio station,
Ms. Davidson was greeted by video
cameras and a room filled to the
brim with donations.
“I would probably be crying right
now if I wasn’t so shocked,” she says
in a video that shows the heart-
warming reveal.
Ms. Davidson was nominated
for the contest by a friend who was
concerned about her living situa-
tion -- a chilly basement apartment
with no bed -- just a couch for her
and her boyfriend to sleep on.
“I’ve fallen on some hard times
lately,” the local woman explains,
saying it has been challenging to
buy supplies for their baby girl, due
in January.
Durham College played a big role
in crossing items off Ms. Davidson’
wish list.
Students from the college’s Expe-
rience DC campaign went on a
shopping spree, filling a van with a
crib, high chair, dining room table
and chairs, formula, clothes and
diapers.
But the biggest surprise was a cer-
tificate for one year’s tuition at Dur-
ham College.
When Ms. Davidson found out
she was pregnant, she was quick to
go back to school and earn her high
school diploma, finishing with top
marks.
But she worried the expense of
a new baby would put college out
of reach. “I can’t believe the gen-
erosity of Durham College,” she
says, noting that she hopes to study
finance or book keeping.
Heather Bulman, the Durham
College student who presented the
tuition certificate to Ms. Davidson,
says the experience was especially
meaningful as she is also a young
mom who struggled to go back to
school.
“I know first hand how life-
changing a college education can
be,” says Ms. Bulman, a second-
year public relations student. “It’s
scary to go back to school when
you’re a young mom, it’s nice to be
able to show her that’s it’s possible.”
Ms. Davidson’s other gifts includ-
ed a $1,000 Walmart gift card
donated by Casino Rama, $3,000
in prepaid Master Cards from
InComm Canada, a queen-size bed
and bedding from Sleep Country,
as well as gift baskets, baby clothes
and more than $4,000 from individ-
ual donors.
“I am just so, so grateful. Never
in a million years did I think this
would happen to me,” she says. “

Q & A
PICKERING -- A 19-year-old Pickering
resident currently attending Carleton
University is a gold-level winner of the
prestigious Duke of Edinburgh’s Award,
and was given the royal treatment when
Princess Anne handed it to her.
The award challenges teens and young
adults in the areas of community ser-
vice, skill development, physical rec-
reation and adventurous journey. Katy
Howlett, who achieved the award as an
independent, attended the awards cere-
mony in November at the Chateau Lau-
rier in Ottawa.
Currently studying criminology and
criminal justice with a concentration in
psychology, Ms. Howlett hopes to join
the Ontario Provincial Police when she
graduates. Her ideal job would be in the
marine unit or to eventually become a
homicide detective.
She answered five questions with the
News Advertiser.
Q:. What are some of your favourite activi-
ties that you were recognized for and why?
A: One of my favourite activities is volun-
teering with N.L.C.C. Exeter in Ajax where
I am an officer. I also enjoy skiing and play-
ing the trumpet; until last June I played in
the senior concert band at Pine Ridge Sec-
ondary School in Pickering. I like to play
tennis and was the assistant tennis coach
at Pine Ridge. Sailing and operating a
power boat are also activities I love to do
when I get the chance. I trained in sailing
at the cadet summer camps and I worked
at H.M.C.S. Ontario in Kingston one sum-
mer as a sailing instructor. I also swim and
I have worked for the City of Pickering as a
swimming instructor. My various physical
recreation activities helped me achieve the
award. Also my trumpet playing counted
as skill development.
Q: The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award chal-
lenges young people in four areas: com-
munity service, skill development, physi-
cal recreation and adventurous journey.
What was the most challenging for you to
complete and why?
A: The most difficult challenge I expe-
rienced in achieving the award was the
adventurous journey. I went on a six-day
dog sledding expedition with a group into
the Algonquin Park wilderness. We stayed
in canvas shelters. We travelled from shel-
ter to shelter, chopped up small trees for
the wood stoves, fetched water from frozen
lakes, cooked meals and looked after the
dogs. The scenery was amazing, a winter
wonderland, but the cold was extreme. It
was snowing when we left, then the tem-
perature dropped to around minus forty
degrees and I only just avoided getting
frostbite. I had previously briefly tried dog
sledding on a goodwill trip to the aborig-
inal community of Fort Simpson in the
North West Territories as a cadet.
Q: At what age did you get involved in your
community and how did you start?
A: I have been involved with local com-
munity events and service since a young
age. I have lived in Pickering since I was a
three-year-old Beaver with Scouts Cana-
da. I became a Cub and then a Scout. After
that I joined N.L.C.C. Exeter in Ajax as a
Navy League cadet then R.C.S.C.C. Har-
wood as a sea cadet where I achieved the
rank of petty officer. I then spent one year
as a sergeant with the Pickering Air Cadets.
For about 10 years I volunteered with the
poppy campaign and entertained veterans
at a local Legion. I played trumpet at local
events and parades. For several years I vol-
unteered at the police memorial service in
Toronto. I also volunteered in the last fed-
eral election and at Ribfest cleaning up the
lakefront. I also helped out at my schools
events.
Q: Why do you feel it is important for
young people be involved in one’s com-
munity and what advice do you have for
those wishing to do more?
A: I think it is important to be involved in
one’s community as young people have a
lot to offer and we can help make our com-
munity a nicer place to live in. We all live
here and need to work together and there
are many opportunities to make a differ-
ence.
Q: It seems like you spend a lot of
time working hard. What do you do to
unwind?
A: When I am not busy studying I like to
unwind by hanging out and Skyping with
my friends, playing Xbox, watching movies
or playing my trumpet.

That’s a wrap for Christmas
Gift-wrapping
service at Pickering
mall benefits Durham
CNIB, covers cost of
providing assistance
to 2,000 clients
Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- It’s a win-win for everybody, as
gifts will look professionally wrapped and the
CNIB will be able to provide services for its
2,000 clients in Durham Region.
That’s the outcome for the organization as it
offers gift-wrapping services at the Pickering
Town Centre during the festive season. More
than 100 volunteers will provide gift-wrap-
ping services and all proceeds will remain in
Durham Region so the CNIB can offer servic-
es.
Pam Deveaux, the manager, communi-
ty giving for the CNIB Durham, said, “The
money raised here stays here. The Pickering
Town Centre is donating the supplies. With-
out the volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to do
this.” The money raised “goes to support pro-
grams,” Ms. Deveaux noted, adding only 30
per cent of the CNIB’s funding comes from
the government. The remainder has to be
raised by the group.
Ms. Deveaux came up with the idea and
approached the mall’s management.
Lorna Murphy, the marketing director for
the Pickering Town Centre, said, “For us and
for them, it’s a great partnership.”
One of the recipients of the CNIB’s services
is Loretta Buttonshaw of Bowmanville. She’s
been a client for more than a decade after
being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa,
a degenerative eye disease that has left her
blind in her left eye and with three-per cent
vision in her right eye.
Services she’s received included a life-skills
specialist, who comes to her house to teach
her braille. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for
the CNIB to raise funds strictly for the Dur-
ham Region,” Ms. Buttonshaw said. “I’d be
lost without those services. I wouldn’t be able
to live on my own.”
In an interview, Ms. Buttonshaw said the
initiative means a lot as it raises awareness
with the public.
“It’s outstanding all the money is for Dur-
ham Region, where I live. It shows the public
we can contribute,” Ms. Buttonshaw noted.
With the three-per cent vision in her right
eye, she can see “but everything is very unfo-
cussed.” She was diagnosed with the condi-
tion just before her 30th birthday and with a
one-week-old son at home.
She had worked in clinical records at Lak-
eridge Health Bowmanville but had to quit
seven years ago because of the condition.
“Even with a magnifying equipment, it was
difficult to do my duties.”
She has two sons, Travis, 23, and Sam, 20.
“Both have been a huge help to their moth-
er. I would be lost without my boys. They’re
very protective.”
When asked if she felt robbed, Ms. Button-
shaw said, “Some times I feel ripped off. Why
me? But I’m a strong woman. My grandmoth-
er said what doesn’t kill you makes you stron-
ger.”
Ms. Deveaux said the CNIB must fundraise
70 per cent of its annual budget, so the gift-
wrapping service is “very important.”
“The services we provide are one-on-one
with our clients,” she said.
At the opening of the service, Pickering
Mayor Dave Ryan and Pickering-Scarbor-
ough East MP Corneliu Chisu tried wrapping
gifts while wearing goggles that simulate eye
diseases, such as glaucoma, retinitis pigmen-
tosa and macular degeneration.
Mayor Ryan said wrapping a gift with the
googles one was “obviously more difficult.
Everything was a little blurry,” while Mr. Chisu
said he felt “overwhelmed.”
Santa Claus was brought in to judge the
job the two men did. “Both would make
very good elves. Even Mrs. Claus would be
pleased. I can’t choose. Both could be placed
under any tree,” Santa said.
The gift-wrapping service is on the mall’s
upper level, between Le Chateau and The Dia-
mond Company, and is offered until Dec. 24.

Pickering woman
with Down syndrome
excels at life
Judi Bobbitt
jbobbitt@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- There’s no doubt in any-
one’s mind that Jan Heeney belongs in
a feature series about inspiring people.
Unless, maybe, there’s a smidgen of doubt
in the mind of Jan Heeney herself.
“She’s very excited,” says Mike O’Neill,
principal at Father Fenelon Catholic
School in Pickering, on the November
morning that a visitor arrives at the school
for an interview with Miss Heeney. But
not even her resume of accomplishments,
impressive enough for anyone let alone a
woman with Down syndrome, can do true
justice to the engaging spirit who awaits.
She’s found in the school library, her
domain, where she’s volunteered for years
and where she’s regarded as a staff mem-
ber by teachers and students. Her face
breaks into a warm smile at the sight of the
principal approaching.
A decorated Special Olympian, she
counts among her talents synchronized
swimming, gymnastics, track and field,
and five-pin bowling -- perhaps taking
after her Hall of Famer father Walter in that
sport -- competing in and out of the prov-
ince. Recently, she’s taken to the stage at
the Abilities Centre in Whitby, where being
part of an improv drama class, including
a public performance in the role of a cat,
has sparked an interest in acting. Named
by the Durham Catholic District School
Board in 2013 as a distinguished alum-
ni, Miss Heeney was recently a speaker at
the Abilities Centre when its field house
was renamed for the late Jim Flaherty, and
spoke to 500 people about her experiences
with the drama group. (“That didn’t faze
her one bit,” her mother Catherine said in
a later phone conversation).
“I can make my own decisions,” Miss
Heeney smiles shyly, in explaining how
she’s never felt different from anyone else,
and had a wonderful childhood, despite
having gone through the regular Catholic
education system with Down syndrome.
“I want to be an actress. I say, don’t treat
me because I’m different.” Explaining she
was initially nervous to be in the Abilities
Centre play, she adds, “I say to myself, I
can’t do this, I can’t do that. But I broke
out of my shell. I conquered. I broke
free.” Her face lights up; she flashes a
conspiratorial grin, as if sharing a pri-
vate, inside joke, and just like that, she
wins another fan.
Janet Anne Heeney was born Sept. 18,
1974 in Scarborough, the third and last
child of Walter and Catherine Heeney of
Pickering. They were told within minutes
after birth the baby had Down syndrome,
a genetic chromosomal disorder that var-
ies in severity, and causes lifelong intellec-
tual disabilities and developmental delays.
Children with Down syndrome have a dis-
tinct facial appearance, and developmen-
tal problems can range from mild to mod-
erate. While Down syndrome results from
abnormal cell division and extra genet-
ic material from chromosome 21, most
forms of it are not inherited and there are
no known envi-
ronmental fac-
tors that cause it.
It’s one of Mother
Nature’s missteps.
The doctor
advised the Hee-
neys the baby
“wouldn’t fit in
with our lifestyle,” recalls Catherine, and
“suggested we place her somewhere. He
told us she would be delayed walking and
might never speak. But we never enter-
tained that thought. We were a fam-
ily of educators. My mother said
to me, ‘we’ll just treat her like
everyone else.’”
Catherine, whose family is
peppered with teachers and
who retired in 2000 from her
job as principal of St. Fran-
ces de Sales Catholic School
in Ajax, turned to music,
jokes, puns and rhymes to
teach her youngest child.
When the time came, Jan
began her formal educa-
tion at Our Lady of The
Bay Catholic
School in
Pickering. Just one complaint was made
to the school board, alleging special treat-
ment due to Mrs. Heeney’s status in the
education system, but when the board
investigated it found no reason to with-
draw Jan from the reg-
ular school system,
says her mother.
“By today’s stan-
dards, that wouldn’t
be understood,” says
Mrs. Heeney of the
complaint. “Today
they are all integrated.
Jan entered the system way before inclu-
sion was even talked about.”
Jan Heeney travelled often with her par-
ents, thrived at school, and
blossomed into a positive,
sociable person. She never
experienced bullying, her
mother says.
“Jan learned so
much from her peers,
and they learned so
much from her...We
never had to fight for
her or fight for her
programs.”
Completing
high school at St.
Mary Catholic Sec-
ondary School in
1995, Miss Heeney
began her vol-
unteer
w o r k
in the
library
at her
for-
mer school, Our Lady of the Bay. When it
was amalgamated with Holy Reedeemer,
to become Father Fenelon school at the
Holy Redeemer site on Liverpool Road
South, Miss Heeney made the move to
Father Fenelon, and soon became indis-
pensable in the library there.
“Jan’s awesome; she helps all the stu-
dents and teachers with book exchange
and daily home reading program,” says
Diana Assenza, vice principal and librar-
ian at Father Fenelon. “It gives her a sense
of purpose. She’s great at what she does.
Jan’s really good at knowing what books
are appropriate for (students’) reading lev-
els. She does a really good job and takes
pride in it. She’s astute, knowing they’ve
moved up a level.”
And Miss Heeney, as she’s called at
school, is known for her cheerful, sunny
nature, her sense of humour and love for
the Vancouver Canucks.
“Jan is considered part of our staff
because of her daily commitment in the
school library,” says Mr. O’Neill. “We are
fortunate to benefit from such a wonder-
ful lady as Miss Heeney is. She cares deeply
about the children and loves the library. It
feels an empty, hollow space without Jan
in there.”
Former students still sometimes drop by
to visit Miss Heeney, and Mr. O’Neill notes
that the school board alumni award recog-
nizes that “Jan is 100 per cent committed
to serving the students of south Pickering
and she’s been doing that for 25 years
now.”
Miss Heeney elicits a laugh from the
principal, who drops by the interview from
time to time, when asked what her favorite
part of her job is. “My breaks,” she answers
without hesitation, pulling out a yellow
folder to show her new hobby, recording
names of celebrities and their birthdates.
As for her future goals, Miss Heeney looks
forward to a new Father Fenelon school
being built that will shorten her walk, and
also wants to become a “famous” actress.
If she falls shy of that goal, no worries.
“I have a plan B, and that’s to become a
famous author,” she says matter-of-factly.
When it’s pointed out that fame can
be elusive, she allows that being “almost
famous” will be good enough.
“Like Anne Hathaway. She won her first
Oscar in Les Miserables in a supporting
role...I hope I would work along with them.
They inspire me to keep going at it. Some
day, I might be in a movie.
“I’ll keep going step by step and make it
through. If I think of it that way, it’s easier.
If I became a little famous, I’d play it low
key.”
She launches into laughter and mimicry
again: “Is that the famous Jan? I must get
her autograph.”
Asked to sum up her life philosophy,
she doesn’t hesitate: “See life in a positive
way.” And she agrees she won’t be discour-
aged if she never becomes famous. “Not
really. I’ll be a little upset if I’m not semi-
famous.”
But you’re already famous, Jan. In your
community, and in the hearts of those who
know you.

APDurham board issues ‘not for the faint of heart’: Chairman
Durham’s two school
boards swear in new
trustees, elect chairmen
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Durham District School
Board’s newly minted chairman says the
upcoming term is expected to be a busy
one, packed with issues “not for the faint
of heart.”
This month marks the start of the new
2014 to 2018 term of office for school
board trustees in Durham.
The DDSB and the Durham Catholic
District School board both held inaugu-
ral meetings on Dec. 1, which involved
new and returning trustees swearing the
oath of office and internal elections to
choose the positions of board chairman
and vice-chairman for a one-year term.
“The Ministry (of Education) is putting
through quite a few initiatives, they’re
coming down fast and furious,” says
longtime Oshawa Trustee Michael Bar-
rett, who was selected as the new DDSB
chairman.
He says examples include new testing
methods, a new sex education curricu-
lum set to be introduced in 2015 and a
program that aims to encourage 60 min-
utes of physical activity as part of the
school day.
Chairman Barrett says other key issues
to watch are anticipated labour negotia-
tions and funding cuts that could see the
Province slash $500 million in education
spending by 2017/2018.
“What impact will that have on the
DDSB? There’s not a lot of room to play
in our budget,” he notes.
The newly elected chairman for Dur-
ham’s Catholic board is no stranger to
the role.
Pickering Trustee Jim McCafferty has
sat on the school board for 23 years and
served as chairman in 1998 and from
2007 to 2012.
He is also anticipating a busy term as
the Catholic board wrestles with how
to best utilize its schools in the face of
declining enrolment in some areas, and
growth in others.
Chairman McCafferty says recent
board decisions to introduce a Grade
7 to 12 program at Monsignor John
Pereyma Catholic Secondary School in
Oshawa, and create the board’s first sin-
gle-track French program at St. Patrick
Catholic School in Ajax, are expected to
dominate discussions over the next year.
“Those are going to be the two big
issues we deal with, parents have a lot of
questions,” he says.
He adds the board is also eager to see
new accommodation review guidelines
that the Province is set to release in the
coming months, which could change
how school boards make decisions on
school closings.
School board trustees were elected as
part of the Oct. 27 municipal election.
Their responsibilities include estab-
lishing school board policies, setting
goals for student achievement and
making decision on how resources are
used -- such as closing schools, chang-
ing school boundaries or opening new
schools.
The DDSB also elected Ajax Trustee
Donna Edwards as its vice-chairman,
Oshawa Trustee Larry Jacula as vice-
chairman of the standing committee
and Scugog Trustee Carolyn Morton was
acclaimed as chairman of the education
finance committee.
The DCDSB elected Oshawa Trustee
Theresa Corless as its vice-chairman.

meeting dates.

In Association With
Two Durham
seniors targeted
by fraud artists
DURHAM -- Recent reports of fraud
artists targeting seniors in Durham
Region have prompted police to issue a
scam alert.
In both cases, the seniors, both of
whom were informed they’d won big
prizes, were asked to supply personal
information.
Both instances were reported to cops
before any losses were incurred, Dur-
ham police said.
In the first instance, a senior in Can-
nington was informed by a caller that
he’d won a vehicle and a $10-million
prize from Sweepstakes Clearinghouse,
police said.
A suspect attempted to gather person-
al information from the intended vic-
tim, police said.
And an Uxbridge senior received a let-
ter instructing him to send his personal
information in order to collect a multi-
million dollar “United Nations Award”,
police said.
Fortunately, neither senior wound up
losing money, police said.
Police have issued a reminder to be
leery of communications from strangers
offering cash or prizes, and asking for
personal information.

Region and beyond.
A
Q
gillespie
Law Office
Legal Matters
What determines the
time length to be able
to sue in an accident?
Things can get very chaotic in the aftermath of a car
accident. If you were injured in the accident,you may need
to spend significant amounts of time in the hospital,at the
doctor ’s office and/or in ph ysiotherapy. You also have to
deal with the damage to your vehicle,which entails having
it towed to a repair facility, working with your insurance
company,securing a rental,etc.
Accidents that cause significant injuries can cause
you to lose time at work. While your insurance policy may
covera portionof yourlostwages,veryfew,ifany,will cover
100 per cent of yourlosses.Inthis case,youhave theoption
to sue the driver at fault and their insurance company.
The extent of your injuries may not be known
for some time after the accident, so you may not even
know that you need to sue right away. You do have some
time after the accident to file suit.According to the
Limitations Act in Ontario,if you are injured, you generally
have two years from the date of your injury to sue the
person(s)at fault.
While most commonly applied to car accidents, this
act alsocovers injuries sustained inothertypes ofaccidents.
Whether you have decided to sue or not,be sure to
keep all of the paperwork you are given surrounding the
accident, including police reports, medical bills,witness
statements etc. These documents will help support your
case if you do decide to sue.
This is your chance to show off your holiday spirit.

APWhat’s On Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor / mruta@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2243
Ajax musician Mac-fou impresses filmmakers
Matt Wells, Matthew
Bennett visited Durham
to promote
Straight Kill Films
Mike Ruta
mruta@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Matts are pretty high on a
rapper from Ajax.
Mac-fou submitted a track, 6am in
Toronto, to actors Matt Wells and Matthew
Bennett. They’ve formed a unique pro-
duction company, Straight Kill Films. The
starting point to be a part of their first film,
Straight Kill, is to post an audition on their
website. They’re looking for actors, crew,
everything, including music for the film.
And that’s where Mac-fou comes in.
“You’ve got to hear this track,” Wells says
he told Bennett when he heard it.
It’s one of their favourites and, while
there are no guarantees, could find its way
onto the movie soundtrack.
Wells (MUCH, MuchMore, MTV) and
Bennett (Orphan Black, Murdoch Myster-
ies) are out to provide opportunities for
talented people and give their careers a
boost, because they know what it’s like to
try and make it in the entertainment busi-
ness.
The Matts were in Oshawa as part of a
tour to talk about the project.
Wells explains that when the two of them
spoke, they each shared a similar story
about a person or people who helped
them in their careers. Bennett told Wells
that throughout his career “there were
people who gave him a push and the ener-
gy to keep going.”
Wells could relate. He was a guy from
Newfoundland in a band who wanted
it to be known. MuchMusic Much East
host Mike Campbell took a shine to him.
He was leaving the show and Campbell
thought Wells would be a good replace-
ment, so Campbell successfully pushed
for Wells to get the job and his career took
off from there.
Sharing these stories, the Matts decid-
ed they want to help others as they were
helped. So they went on a “whirlwind”
tour to promote Straight Kill Films and
opened up the doors to accept resumes.
“There have been a lot,” Wells says.
“Every week it’s a little more.”
“Ninety-five per cent of the people, we’ve
never heard of.”
He explains that Straight Kill, written
by Bennett, is a story about Toronto, and
in particular St. James Town, a Toronto
neighbourhood made up of apartment
complexes. Two young men, Wells says,
“are on the hook for some dough.” One is
from St, James Town and other is from the
nearby, but much more affluent, Riverdale
community, the other side of the tracks, as
it were.
“They need to basically go in the world
of underground dice hustling and make
some money and save their friends,” Wells
says.
More than anything, he notes, “it’s a
story of these two guys who need each
other.”
Wells is enthused about the film as he
cannot recall a movie about street dice.
And he’s excited to discover all of these
talented people who want to appear in
and work on the film. He and Bennett are
very hands on with their project: they daily
check who has submitted an audition and
speak about who’s knocking on their door.
The deadline to post an audition has
been extended to Feb. 28. In April they will
announce who they want to meet for face-
to-face auditions. In mid-May, Straight Kill
Films will announce who will be cast in
the film and who is on the soundtrack.
Wells says some experience the fear
of not wanting to put yourself out there,
online. Others think they’re not good
enough. He encourages them to be bold
and take a chance.
“With anything in life, don’t think about
it, just do it,” Wells says.
Visit www.straightkillfilms.com to
learn more and submit an audition.

Snub serves
as motivation
for Dillon
Campbell
Star running back
at Laurier a finalist
for country’s top player
of the year award
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
WATERLOO -- The first game of the sea-
son may have been an indication this was
going to be a special one for Dillon Camp-
bell.
The running back for the Laurier Gold-
en Hawks set a school record for rushing
yards in a game when he ran for 293 in a
53-17 season-opening win over the Uni-
versity of Toronto Varsity Blues. He broke
the record with a 98-yard major midway
through the fourth quarter, finishing the
day with a pair of touchdowns.
But the seed of motivation was actu-
ally planted the season before, when
after leading the OUA in rushing, he was
snubbed when the league’s first team all-
stars were announced. So entering his
senior year, Campbell was on a mission.
“Last year I led the OUA conference in
rushing yards, but they named me a sec-
ond team OUA all-star instead of a first
team which I thought I deserved,” says the
22 year old. “So, I used that as motivation
to work harder. I didn’t really think of it
much as my final year, just do what I can to
better the team.”
This season he made a statement, and
everybody heard it.
The list of accolades is a lengthy one
for the Whitby resident who grew up in
Pickering, He got top billing, named a CIS
First Team All-Canadian, was the OUA
MVP and OUA First Team All-Star and set
a number of school records along the way.
The most flattering recognition for Camp-
bell was being named a finalist for the Hec
Crighton Trophy as the country’s most
valuable player, an award that eventu-
ally went to Calgary quarterback Andrew
Buckley.
“It’s humbling,” he says of being recog-
nized as one of the country’s best players.
“I’m very honoured to be nominated and
recognized across the league for what I did
this season.”
Originally a soccer player, Campbell was
convinced to follow his babysitter’s son
out to the football field one day and stayed,
playing all of his club ball with the Ajax-
Pickering Dolphins. He began high school
at St. Mary, and when his family moved to
Whitby, remained there to graduate.
“I wanted to go to high school with all
my friends and the guys I played on the
Dolphins with,” he says of his days at St.
Mary.
The kinesiology and physical educa-
tion major at Laurier lit up the opposition
this season, running for 1.458 yards, the
sixth highest total ever in a single season
in Canadian university history. The rush-
ing yards, as well as his 185 carries, were
school records at Laurier. Campbell also
made 12 catches for 206 yards, giving him
1,664 all-purpose yards, representing 46
per cent of Laurier’s total offence on the
season. All of the yardage contributed to
13 touchdowns.
“All the hard work that we put in as a
team,” says Campbell of the reason behind
his personal success. “We took a week
after the (2013) season, and then after that
we got right back into the heavy lifting and
workouts. As a team we worked hard and
pushed ourselves.
“Also, seeing the coach in there at 6, 7:30
in the morning with us, lifting and doing
his thing, motivated us to go that much
harder.”
As a team, Laurier finished the season
even at 4-4, but were bounced from the
playoffs in the opening round by Western
25-10.
“It’s bittersweet,” says Campbell of the
personal awards, but not going deeper
into the playoffs as a team. “We did a lot
better, but I had more plans and goals for
the team as opposed to going out in the
first round of playoffs.”
As for his future, the five-foot-eight,
195-pound Campbell is undecided at this
point. He could return for a fifth and final
year at Laurier, or move on to the pro level,
even if it means switching positions.
“I definitely want to continue play-
ing football,” he says. “I love the sport.
I wouldn’t play it unless I loved it. I defi-
nitely want to continue playing at the next
level. I’m definitely open to change as long
as I’m playing the sport I love.”

Colleen mere words cannot convey or say

You were so much a part of our lives. That
" million dollar " smile - Those bright eyes
- Always encouraging others and caring
for others. There are people in our lives
that pass through - Not stopping - But
there are others that " stay " with us - You
have stayed through the good times and
the not so good times with us. You will
always be in our Hearts and on our Minds
" Perhaps it is not stars we see in the night
skies - But openings in Heaven where -
The love of our lost ones pours through -
And shines down upon us to let us know
they are Happy " An Eskimo Legend
