DURHAM -- Frenchman’s Bay in Durham is a popular destination
for winter enthusiasts. Here, a man ventures onto the ice.
RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND
On Frozen Pond ...
DURHAM -- For many people, skating out-
doors on a frozen pond is a great way to
spend a a winter’s day.
However, not all that looks frozen actu-
ally is. To help ensure your safety on ice,
review the following tips:
1. Ice colour
Be aware of the colour of the ice as it can
indicate the strength. Blue it is the stron-
gest ice.
Opaque ice is the second strongest ice
as it is formed by wet snow freezing on the
ice. Grey ice is not safe. The grey shows
that water is present.
To take extra precaution, check with local
authorities before going out on the ice.
2. To keep your ice adventures safe and
memorable:
Check thickness of the ice. Ice should be
15 cm (six inches) for walking and skating,
20 cm (eight inches) for parties and games,
and 25 cm (10 inches) for snowmobiling
Check recent weather reports before
going on the ice to make sure there hasn’t
been a recent thaw.
Large waterways can be unpredictable
so use extra discretion when participating
in activities on Lake Ontario, Lake Scugog
and Lake Simcoe.
Wear padding, helmets and other pro-
tective gear for skating and hockey. Tie
skates tightly to avoid ankle injuries
3. Alone on ice
If you find yourself alone on ice that is
not safe, first call for help. Try not to climb
out of the water where you fell in because
the ice is weak there.
Float on your stomach and grab a stron-
ger piece of ice to pull yourself onto. Use
your legs to push yourself up.
When you are on the ice, roll away from
the opening and keep your legs and arms
spread out to keep your weight evenly dis-
tributed.
Do not stand up.
4. With others on ice
If you find yourself having to rescue
another person, try to do it from the shore.
Call for help and contact emergency ser-
vices such as police, fire or EMS.
Try to reach the person with a pole or a
branch. It may help to lie on your stom-
ach. Wear a lifejacket. Have the person kick
while you pull them onto the ice.

Planning GM Oshawa’s FutureTogether
It is an honour to be back home in Canada as President and Managing
Director of General Motors Canada.I started my career at GM here in
Oshawa,met my wife,played hockey and made many life-long friends
here.While this is just the second month in my new role,we have already
reconnected with many old friends and met many new ones.It’s also
fantastic to see the growth,spirit and the new health and education
institutions that make Oshawa and all of Durham Region such a dynamic
community.
Since my last work assignment in Oshawa,GM has of course been through a major
restructuring that brought us back to being a strong,profitable and growing business in
Canada and globally.But,that only happened through an extraordinary effort of many people
pulling together including people here in the community – and particularly with our partners
in the federal and provincial governments.The restructuring in 2009 placed us squarely on
the path as a competitive and highly disciplined business focused on serving our customers.
Recently,together with GM CEO Mary Barra,I had the
opportunity to meet and thank our federal and Ontario
Ministers of Industry in Detroit.The Ministers raised
questions about our future plans in Canada,in particular
the timing of future decisions for our Oshawa operations.
We had a very productive discussion and we expressed
our commitment to Canada and our deep gratitude for
their leadership and support.
Canada is one of GM’s most important countries.We sell
vehicles in over 120 countries and Canada ranks 5th for
GM country sales and 6th for vehicle production.The first
part of our commitment to Canada has been to fulfill and
surpass the promises we made at the time of our
restructuring agreement. Since then,we have invested
over $1 Billion dollars in St.Catharines,Ingersoll and
Oshawa facilities and we plan to invest more. By the
time we complete our agreement with the governments
in 2016,we expect to have surpassed our overall
production targets by hundreds of thousands of
vehicles.
But people also want to hear about future products
and plans for Oshawa.In any business,especially one
as large and complex as an automotive company,there
are detailed planning processes before investment and
product decisions are made.Just as you would before
buying a house,you must study your costs and know
what your mortgage’s interest rate is going to be
before you decide how much you are able to invest.
We have now begun that process for the Oshawa plant and it will extend through 2015 and
2016.We start byexamining the numbers and understanding the variables.We must pay
attention to how dramatically economic factors are fluctuating these days – some of which
we can control or predict more than others.We are‘doubling down’on efforts to find
efficiencies and we will be working with all our partners to address issues and build on our
strengths.We have a good relationship with our union Unifor and have every faith that their
leadership understands the central role they will play as we move forward.One key milestone
is that we must complete our 2016 union contract negotiations before we can make any final
decisions.
In short,we want our community to understand the timing for this next round of decisions.
We are going to be careful and are not expecting to be deciding on any major new mandates
or investments in Oshawa until well into 2016.
For all this,I remain positive.We are focused on excellence,innovation and serving our
customers.In Oshawa,we have award-winning employees,excellent product quality,exciting
opportunities in our engineering and technology centre,supportive business partners and
communities. So,while we are often asked for definitive answers about the Oshawa plant
today,we are going to work throughour process with our partners and do what’s needed to
ensure we have the most productive,high quality and cost competitive operation possible.
I know Oshawa and Durham Region will be behind us as we do.

Police
charge man
in weekend
slashing
incident on
bus in Ajax
Teen’s face slashed
in unprovoked attack
on bus
Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Readers have reacted strongly
online to a News Advertiser report of a ran-
dom slashing on a Durham Region Tran-
sit bus Jan. 20, some wondering why the
18-year-old accused in the incident has not
been charged with attempted murder.
“No attempted murder charge?” reader
Robyn Connolly commented on our Face-
book page. “I would say slashing someone’s
throat unprovoked is definitely an attempt
at murder.”
Other readers, however, reasoned that the
intent of the accused was rightly consid-
ered by Durham police, who have charged
an Ajax man with aggravated assault and
weapons offences.
“Attempted murder requires an ‘intent’,”
replied reader Jorden Laing. “If they are
already saying it was unprovoked then that
makes me feel it was random and there
was no intent -- just a spur-of-the-moment
action.”
Cops investigating assaults like the one in
question weigh a number of factors, includ-
ing the apparent intent of the perpetrator
and the injuries resulting from the action,
in determining the proper charge, said Ser-
geant Bill Calder.
“It all comes down to what was their
intent,” he said. “To take it from aggravated
assault is the intent to kill. Sometimes it’s
more about the injuries that were incurred.
“It’s a fine line,” Sgt. Calder said.
In Friday’s incident, the 18-year-old victim
was travelling to Ajax on a DRT bus at 10:45
p.m. when another passenger began to
harass him, police said. The incident esca-
lated to the point where the accused man
attacked the victim, slashing the side of his
face. The two men weren’t known to one
another, police said.
The attack resulted in serious but not life-
threatening injuries, police said. The vic-
tim was assisted by fellow passengers until
the arrival of paramedics. He was treated at
hospital and released.
The suspect fled the bus but was arrest-
ed nearby after being tracked by a police
canine team.
Braydon Leblanc, 18, of Miles Drive in
Ajax, is charged with aggravated assault and
weapons offences.
DURHAM -- Police have laid charges in two
November collisions that claimed the lives of
Durham Region residents.
Durham cops announced the charges Fri-
day, Jan. 23, following investigations into two
incidents on the same day.
On Nov. 2, 2014, a 55-year-old Ajax woman
was struck by a van at the intersection of
Ritchie and Knapton avenues. Police have
charged Wayne Tozzi, 53, of Falby Court in
Ajax, with careless driving and driving an
unsafe vehicle.
On the same afternoon, an eastbound
pickup truck ran a stop sign at the inter-
section of Concession 6 and Enfield Road,
causing a three-vehicle collision, police
said. The crash killed a 28-year-old Courtice
man. David Wilson, 29, of Norland Circle in
Oshawa, is charged with dangerous driving
causing death.

Free lunch for Durham
politicians a slap in
taxpayers’ faces
To the editor:
Re: Durham council holds $15,000 inau-
gural luncheon, news, Jan. 14
It is time Durham council stopped such
unnecessary functions. Councillors are
paid a salary, given free coffee, $10,000
office expenses.
Is there anything else I am not aware of?
Now we pay $15,000 for a luncheon for
them and seven guests?
Have as many luncheons as you wish, but
reach into your pocket, not mine. Our taxes
are ridiculous and getting worse.
If this council is seriously looking for ways
to save taxpayers’ money, this is so obvi-
ous it slaps you in the face, the same way
as councillors are doing this to us with this
unnecessary lunch. More work is needed
and fewer functions.
Harry Selby
Pickering
Taking a measure of the economy
Durham residents
have been cheerfully
pumping cheaper gas
into their vehicles as
global oil prices decline.
Adding to the price bonanza at the pumps
was a surprise interest rate cut -- by one-
quarter of one per cent -- announced last
week by the Bank of Canada. One could
be forgiven for interpreting this all as good
news, a happy consequence of global eco-
nomic volatility. But the immediate effect of
reduced interest rates can be measured pos-
itively and negatively.
The good news is that a lower Canadian
dollar assists companies that export goods
to the U.S. and abroad as their products are
less expensive to their customers. Mort-
gage rates, too, are often reduced by nation-
al lenders in lockstep with Bank of Canada
cuts, which makes borrowing less expen-
sive. Though Canada’s banks have yet to fol-
low last week’s interest rate cut, some econ-
omists predict another quarter-point cut in
the coming weeks or months, which would
put more pressure on lenders to pass along
those savings to consumers.
However, a lower Canadian currency also
means that the things we import -- food,
clothing, and other staples -- cost more. If
consumers haven’t noticed already, the few
dollars they might be saving at their local gas
station at each fill-up are being eaten up by
higher costs at grocery and retail stores.
And the precipitous decline in global oil
prices as Saudi Arabia and other OPEC
nations double down in a price war against
oil-producing competitors, including Can-
ada, has had a negative impact on federal
finances, so much so that the Harper gov-
ernment has been forced to delay release
of its spring budget due to declining reve-
nues for federal coffers. And continued low
oil prices will represent an ongoing drag on
Canada’s economy. The oil-patch in Alberta,
for example, has driven provincial econom-
ic expansion for the last several years. This
year, however, economists have reduced
growth projections to 2.5 per cent after sev-
eral years of expansion at an annual rate of
4.5 per cent. A reversal of that magnitude
will result in job loss, reduced investment
and declining development.
Here at home, Ontario might be better
positioned with lower interest rates and a
lower currency to renew investment in man-
ufacturing. The looming federal election
could well inspire party leaders to capitalize
and promise such investment. Overall, how-
ever, the federal government remains in a
strong position. The federal budget deficit is
all but gone, policies are in place to promote
prosperity, and we stand to benefit from
economic demand that is ramping up in the
U.S., our biggest trading partner.
Find inner peace
through meditation
High levels of stress have helped the
West recognize the calming and healing
powers of meditation. True meditation occurs
when you become mentally silent without
thoughts in the present moment.
Meditation benefits you mentally, emo-
tionally, physically and spiritually. Your
energy level will increase, your stress level
will decrease and your immune system will
improve. In fact, doctors are recommending
meditation. Sahaja Yoga meditation has the
advantage over other meditations because
of the awakening of the Kundalini energy.
How is this possible? Well, this ancient
knowledge has been available to humanity
since 1970. We all have within us a resid-
ual energy at the base of the spine since
our birth. Sahaja is a simple yet powerful
method of awakening this energy. You can-
not know the meaning of your life until one is
connected to the power that created you.
The world today is in a horrible mess
-- turmoil, confusion, corruption, destruc-
tion. The environment is being abused and
neglected. The people at the helm of affairs
have to become responsible and take
charge. Global peace is the only answer.
There will be no peace in the world until one
finds peace within. Meditation will enable
you to experience mental silence and true
peace.
Sahaja Yoga meditation is a non-profit
organization offering free weekly meditation
classes, run by experienced, dedicated yoga
teachers who are eager to share the true
knowledge of how you can help yourself.
In Durham Region we offer free weekly
classes to the community. Prior registration
is not required. For further information con-
tact Reg Moberley at 905-441-5360
Meetings are held at: Pickering High
School, 180 Church St. Room 149; Whitby

Elizabeth Public School, 1205 Simcoe St. N.

Inner peace
Fond memories
of what used to be
It occurred to me the other day that I am
now at a point in my life where I can actu-
ally remember a large number of things that,
while once an integral or at least common
part of my day-to-day existence, are no lon-
ger around. Things like $1 and $2 bills, pen-
nies, rotary phones and the annoying buzz
of a busy signal.
When, for instance, was the last time any-
body had a tantrum because they were
expecting a call and somebody else was hog-
ging the phone? This may sound silly but it
makes me feel old to think that I can remem-
ber a time before colour TV and remote
controls. How many of us recall those awful
moments when one show ended and some-
body was going to have to haul themselves
out of whatever chair they were comfort-
ably slouched in, to go and change the chan-
nel? It was a long, arduous journey from the
couch to the old RCA but the payoff was that
if you put the legwork in, you got to choose
the next show. For that matter, how many of
us remember television ‘dials’ or the fact that
there were numbers on the dial that were
home to nothing but static? Or a time when
there was so little programming that tele-
vision stations went ‘off the air’ at a certain
time of night? Remember the test pattern?
I remember when a barbecued meal was
a big deal. Something seasonal and special
that you had to wait for. We used to get excit-
ed when we saw Dad with the tin of starter
fluid and a bag of briquettes in his hand.
I remember those neat little quarter-glass
vent windows in the front seats of old cars.
Why did they go away? I also remember hav-
ing to get out and manually pull the anten-
na of the car up if we wanted to listen to the
radio. That I don’t miss at all. It’s been two
cars and 15 years since I had to manually
crank a car window. That seems weird too.
I remember thinking both my family
and the future had arrived when my Dad
brought ‘Pong’ home and onto our TV set.
For weeks, Bonanza, Happy Days and The
Brady Bunch were put on hold and the only
sound coming out of the basement was the
‘bloop, bleep, bloop’ of electronic paddles
striking that little white, floating square. We
were mesmerized.
I remember the bookmobile. That marvel-
ous, musty, travelling library that brought
the printed word to the cultural desert of
suburbia. Before the web, eBooks and the
age of instant, downloadable edification,
there was the bookmobile and its wonder-
fully free treasures. I looked forward to it
more than the ice cream truck.
I remember bikes without gears, manu-
al and electronic typewriters, milk in huge
glass jugs with foil lids and pogs. I remember
mail being delivered through our front door
slot. I remember bench seats in cars, bank
passbooks and dot matrix printers.
Every era embraces shiny, new things and
leaves its used, discarded items swirling in
the dust. And sometimes we are left reel-
ing and breathless. That’s when it’s impor-
tant, I suppose, to look around and take note
of those things that have not changed. That
never change. Friends, family, love, laugh-
ter and connection. I may not remember
the name or nature of the first VHS movie
we rented or the first Intellivision game we
played, but thank goodness I remember the
people who were there with me at the time.

Jillian Vice: Let the kids have their
ice rink. Better yet, collect food for
the food bank, and have a neigh-
bourhood game!!! Get everyone
involved. In this time when kids don’t want to play
outside, we should be encouraging them to be
active outside -- not telling them they can’t. Who-
ever made this complaint should be ashamed of
themselves.
The Province is currently preparing to update its
sex education curriculum for students, sparking

Jacqueline Mooney: Absolutely
the rink should stay!! What a mean-
spirited complaint and surely it is a
stretch of a bylaw to say this is not
compliant with neighbourhood standards. If it
isn’t then common sense should prevail and the
bylaw changed.
Tracy Krisko Di Cesare: It keeps
them from getting in trouble on the
the streets and parents know where
they are.
Mike Pearson: Love that you can
pay hundred of thousands of dollars
to buy a damn house and you can’t
do anything with it....neighbours and
city get final say...
Lynn Giles: Great idea, especially if
neighbour kids can play, they can all
see who is out playing. Better than
being on their phones!
Cathy Clarry: Hope you win this
one. Outdoor composite board is
allowed I hear. Also hope your nosey
neighbour moves. I hate that kind of
a neighbour up on her high horse.
Patricia Adams: Two thoughts from
me: I think the Town of Ajax has too
many bylaws and secondly, would
recommend a maximum of two com-
plaints per household per year. If the same neigh-
bour complains more than twice, they should be
fined for excess use of the bylaw officer’s time.
Jared Harrison: Need to have a big
tournament there. It’s all about the
kids; I know me and my team would
show up to show our support.
BEHIND THE LENS
BOWMANVILLE -- Photographing kids on carnival rides, in
this case the 25th annual Apple Festival and Craft Sale, can be
pretty easy. In this case I chose this boy because he had a big
smile. Everytime the swings completed a circle I would fire off
a couple of shots. The challenge here is getting a shot in focus
without too much distraction in the background.

Durham
working
on plan to
distribute K1
pills around
nuclear
plants
All homes,
workplaces within 10
kilometres of plants will
receive pills
Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- The Region is working with
Ontario Power Generation to come
up with a plan to distribute potassium
iodine pills to all homes, businesses and
institutions within 10 kilometres of the
Pickering and Darlington nuclear sta-
tions.
The pills have to be distributed by the
end of this year.
OPG is buying the pills, but Durham
will take the lead in distributing them.
Ken Gorman, director of environmen-
tal health for the Region, said, “We’ve
been in the business of distributing KI
pills for some time.
“We’re taking the lead as a reliable
source to distribute the pills,” he said
during a meeting of the Region’s health
and social services committee on Jan.
22.
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Com-
mission last year ordered the distribu-
tion of the pills in a 10-kilometre area
around nuclear stations.
KI pills stop the thyroid gland from
absorbing radioactive iodine if there
were a release of radioactive material
from a nuclear station.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson
was concerned about insurance liabil-
ity, saying if the pills are needed, some
people will come forward and say they
didn’t get them.
“No matter how good the plan is, we
need to be indemnified by OPG,” Mr.
Anderson said.
Pickering Councillor David Pickles
questioned the logistics of ensuring
each address is reached.
He noted someone living in an illegal
basement apartment might not get the
pills.
“These are some of the challeng-
es that go along with it,” Mr. Gorman
noted.
“One of the challenges is the sustain-
ability of the plan.”
One challenge that will arise is when
someone moves from a house, wheth-
er they leave the pills or take them, and
ensuring new residents to the house get
pills.
Mr. Gorman said it’s voluntary to keep
and take the pills, which have a shelf life
of seven years.
A detailed information package will
be included with the pills when they are
distributed, he added.
Hiring four people to help with the
program will cost $431,300 and it will be
funded by OPG.
The Region distributed 225,000 pills
in 2014 and that work was all done by
existing staff, Mr. Gorman said.
When questioned about the possi-
bility that the pills could be used for a
narcotic purpose, Dr. Robert Kyle said,
“I can’t imagine that happening. I don’t
envisage any of those scenarios. I can’t
imagine the pills would be abused in
the same way narcotics are.”
Dr. Kyle, the Region’s medical offi-
cer of health, said there was “a run on
KI pills in Durham Region” during the
Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in
2011.

Drunk driving charge after
driver flees cops, Pickering
crash
PICKERING -- Impaired driving charges
have been laid after a motorist crashed
a car while fleeing from police Jan. 25 in
Pickering.
The vehicle, which had been reported
stolen, sustained heavy damage after the
driver crashed it and fled on foot in the
vicinity of Liverpool Road and Finch Ave-
nue, moments after officers suspended
their pursuit, OPP said.
Sergeant Kerry Schmidt said police
were first alerted by motorists who report-
ed a suspected drunk driver in the east-
bound lanes of Hwy. 401 at Avenue Road
in Toronto around 7 p.m. OPP officers
spotted the vehicle later on Kingston Road
near Liverpool and attempted to pull it over.
“The vehicle continued at a high rate
of speed,” Sgt. Schmidt said. “The officers
disengaged” out of concern for public safe-
ty, he said.
A short time later the vehicle crashed
and the driver fled. A man was arrested a
short time later, Sgt. Schmidt said.
A 22-year-old Brampton man who
police identified as a novice driver is
charged with impaired driving, dangerous
driving, flight from police, and possession
of a stolen vehicle.
PICKERING -- KI pills are to be distributed
near the Pickering nuclear plants.

How to decide where to live in retirement
(NC) The kids are grown, the grandchildren are coming along, and soon you’ll
reap the rewards of your lifetime of work. It’s called retirement. But even though
you’ve planned for this major change in your life, there are still important deci-
sions to make – including where you’ll spend your retirement years.
To make an informed decision about a future home, here’s a brief guideline
courtesy of Investors Group:
Location. Will you stay in the home where you raised your children? There
may be a deep emotional attachment to the home and the neighbourhood.
Size of home. A smaller home is easier to maintain, with lower utility costs
and taxes. But, consider a new home purchase carefully. Perhaps that money is
better off in investments that increase your cash flow and your estate.
Buy or rent? Downsizing to condos or apartments can be an attractive life-
style choice. The costs of major repairs at condominiums are shared among
owners, and repairs are the building owner’s responsibility. On the downside,
you may find you’re living too close to neighbours or that condo fees are too
steep.
Summer and winter homes. Many Canadians decide to winter in warm-
er southern climates. If you choose to follow these snowbirds, will you own or
rent your residences in Canada and the United States? This decision depends
on your personal situation, so you should consult a tax advisor.
Your health. If you have no current health problems, maintaining your pres-
ent home may be practical. But if health concerns are a consideration, you may
want to look at housing options that offer various levels of assisted living.

Mayor Dave Ryan silences
Pickering
resident who
complained
about
election
signs
Mayor says Mike
Borie’s complaints
should be made
to Province
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- Pickering Mayor Dave
Ryan told a Pickering resident who made
accusatory remarks towards a councillor
during a meeting to stop talking.
Pickering resident Mike Borie spoke
as a delegate at a recent council meet-
ing about an issue he had with Ward 3
Councillor David Pickles during the
2014 municipal election campaign, in
which Coun. Pickles defeated the former
regional councillor, Peter Rodrigues.
“Mr. Borie, you are out of order and
your delegation is over,” Mayor Ryan
said.
The delegate did eventually stop talk-
ing, but he didn’t think he was out of
line.
“So much for freedom of speech,” Mr.
Borie said in an interview. “I didn’t think
he had grounds to have me stop talking.”
Mr. Borie’s complaints were based
on an Oct. 1 debate at the Claremont
Community Centre, a municipal build-
ing. He said Coun. Pickles had erected
election signs at the debate, which was
before the date that signs were allowed
to be put up, Oct. 3. He also complained
the candidate’s signs were erected on
municipal property, which goes against
City policy.
“The correct place for those concerns
to be expressed would be to the Minister
of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and
(Mr. Borie) had been advised of that and
I had advised him previously of that, and
I couldn’t allow that to continue in the
open session,” said Mayor Ryan.
Coun. Pickles said he understands
candidates cannot have campaign-relat-
ed activities in municipal facilities, but
there’s an exception for special circum-
stances such as debates.
“The one in Claremont was a candi-
dates’ debate held by the local commu-
nity association,” he said.
He said he asked organizers ahead
of time if he would be able to hand out
materials and erect signs and was told
yes.
“There was no illegal activity on my
part,” said Coun. Pickles. “It was cleared
in advance.”
On Oct. 20, Mr. Borie wrote an official
complaint to the City that Coun. Pick-
les’s signs were posted too early, and
illegally on municipally owned proper-
ty.
Mr. Borie received a response from the
City solicitor on Oct. 22, who indicated
the candidate’s actions were not out of
order.
Mr. Borie said he was disappointed
with the lack of action.
“This is just another bylaw they are
completely ignoring,” he said.
City clerk Debbie Shields said if the
City had received the complaint on Oct.
2, staff would have followed up.
“We look for compliance. It’s not like
we would have charged him. If there was
a contravention, we would have asked
him to take the sign down and if it’s not
taken down, then we take it and they
have to pay to have it back.”
However, the sign was only up for the
duration of the debate.
“The sign went up, the sign came
down,” Ms. Shields said.
The City had also received a complaint
that Mr. Rodrigues had held his cam-
paign kick-off party at a city facility, the
Pickering Civic Complex.
Mr. Rodrigues stressed that he “paid
out of pocket” to rent space at the facil-
ity.
Ms. Shields said at the time there was
no bylaw that spoke to the use of City
facilities for campaigns, but Pickering
did have a “clerk’s procedure” that pro-
hibits candidates from using a munici-
pal facility for any election-related pur-
pose.
In that case, the City simply told Mr.
Rodrigues that holding campaign-relat-
ed events wasn’t allowed on municipal
property, but did not pursue anything
further since it was a one-time incident.
“We try to educate and we look for
compliance and if we obtain those two
things then that’s as far as it goes,” said
Ms. Shields.
Mr. Borie said that him being a sup-
porter of Mr. Rodrigues had nothing
to do with his complaints about Coun.
Pickles’ actions.
“I don’t fight for Mr. Rodrigues, but I
fight for what I feel is right,” he said.

AJAX-PICKERING -- Four teenagers from
Ajax and Pickering are facing a total of 30
charges after a stolen car chase in Pickering.
Police were called to the Bayly Street East
and Harwood Avenue area in Ajax on Jan.
17 after a witness spotted people armed
with weapons near an SUV. They found the
vehicle driving dangerously on Bayly and
tried unsuccessfully to pull it over.
Police pursued the SUV westbound on
Hwy. 401 and into Scarborough. At one
point the vehicle slowed down and one
occupant attempted to jump out, but was
caught on the door and dragged for a short
distance, police said. The SUV mounted a
curb as two more occupants tried to flee.
Three suspects were arrested near the vehi-
cle and two suspects were arrested later.
Police seized cocaine, marijuana, three
knives, a machete and a replica handgun.
Three 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-
old girl all from the Ajax and Pickering area
face 30 charges. They cannot be identi-
fied under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
A 20-year-old man from Toronto was also
charged.

AP Ajax family’s
skating
rink
benched
Neighbour complains,
claiming it’s unsightly
Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- An Ajax family is dropping the
gloves and planning to fight to keep a hock-
ey rink in their front yard.
The Broomfield-Callery family has been
given two weeks to remove the boards
surrounding the rink of the Alden Square
home or face a possible $25,000 fine. The
couple is starting a petition and plans to
speak in front of Ajax council, tentatively
set for Monday, Feb. 9.
Someone complained about the rink,
claiming it was unsightly. The Town’s
bylaw department took a look and deter-
mined the boards constitute a structure,
which isn’t allowed on a front yard.
“It was quite a surprise,” said Derek
Broomfield of receiving a letter from the
Town telling them the boards had to be
removed.
This is the third year the boards have
been put up and the first time a complaint
has been made. The boards are about
one foot high and surround a rink that’s
about 15 feet (4.6 metres) by 10 feet (three
metres).
Karen Callery said their children -- Jamie,
9, and Ryan, 7 -- “love it. We weren’t going
to put it up this year and Ryan wondered
when we would put it up.”
Ms. Callery agreed that it’s unCanadian
to have to remove a hockey rink.
“I’m a hockey player. I played shinny last
night and I have a game tonight.”
The complaint was the structure “visu-
ally, it doesn’t look good,” Mr. Broomfield
said.
“What’s next? They don’t like my Christ-
mas decorations or my Halloween decora-
tions?” Ms. Callery asked.
“It’s the smallest rink known to man-
kind,” Ms. Callery added. “I play hock-
ey and it would take me two strides to get
across. It’s not men out there at night slam-
ming pucks.”
“There are no pucks flying over the
boards,” Mr. Broomfield said.
“There are no pucks flying onto the road
or into neighbours’ cars. It’s nothing like
that,” Ms. Callery said.
When they built the first rink three years
ago. Ms. Callery went to the Town offic-
es and spoke with a bylaw officer. She was
told the height of the boards had to be “less
than the fence.”
She was also told any snow that had to be
shovelled had to stay on their property.
“This year they called it a structure. It’s
the equivalent to a fence,” she said.
When asked what she’d say to the person
who complained, Ms. Callery laughed and
said, “No comment, out loud.”
The couple is starting a petition to keep
the boards up.
They’re hoping the Town will see the
rink in the front as “a temporary landscape
structure. It follows the intent of the bylaw,
but don’t see it as a structure,” Ms. Callery
noted.
Derek Hannan, the manager of bylaw
services for Ajax, said if a neighbour hadn’t
complained, the Town wouldn’t have order
the boards to come down.
“I don’t think I’ve been on Alden Square.
It’s the result of a complaint of a resident,”
he said.
“An ice skating rink is on someone’s front
yard and they don’t think that’s appropri-
ate,” Mr. Hannan said. “It’s not about the
ice rink. It’s the structure.”
The Town’s bylaws don’t allow any kind
of structure on a front lawn.
He said if there was just ice, but not
boards, there would be no problem.
“If it’s just ice, it happens on Canadian
lawns all winter long. As long as it’s not
spilling onto the municipal sidewalk” the
rink can stay, he said.
“They can remove the boards and the ice
can stay.”
As for the fine, the maximum that could
be imposed is $25,000, but Mr. Hannan
said, “The courts will determine what’s
appropriate.”
In this case, he speculated if convicted,
the homeowner would face a fine of $100 to
$150.
“Ultimately, the courts will decide,” he
said, adding the amount would be based
on the severity of the issue and the actions
of the resident.
The Town encourages children to par-
ticipate in activities and “not sitting on the
couch,” Mr. Hannan said, noting there are
four community ice rinks which the Town
encourages residents to use.
“It’s unfortunate they couldn’t get a rink
in their side yard or rear yard. We get com-
plaints about rinks in the side yard or rear
yard and we say they’re allowed to have
them,” Mr. Hannan noted.
Mr. Broomfield said it’s too difficult to
build a rink in the backyard because of a
slope.
They built one in the backyard, but “it
was foot on one side and an inch on the
other,” Mr. Broomfield said, adding it took
a lot of time to get a level skating surface.
“It was practically impossible.”
As for going to the neighbourhood rink,
Ms. Callery said it’s often used by older
youths playing hockey.
“It’s not skateable. A seven year old in
the midst of bigger kids, he’s not able to
go. How do you say that to a seven year old
‘you can’t go skating,’” Ms. Callery said. “I
can be out there (to the front yard rink) and
be with the kids, interacting with the kids.”
Over the past weekend, the nearby rink
didn’t have any ice.
Mr. Hannan said the Town’s position
“isn’t anti-hockey. We’re pro-hockey.
Hockey is our national pastime.”
A similar situation is happening in
Pickering, as a resident constructed a
hockey rink, with boards, on Frenchman’s
Bay. The resident has been instructed by
the City to remove the rink.
In an e-mail, Kimberly Thompson, the
manager, bylaw enforcement services,
said, “The City has concerns about the
safety of any activity on the ice and the
potential hazards associated. The person
responsible has been requested to remove
the structure and the City will be determin-
ing potential actions should the person fail
to comply.”
Ms. Thompson couldn’t comment fur-
ther as the matter is still under investiga-
tion.
WHAT’S THE RULE ON ICE
RINKS IN OTHER DURHAM
COMMUNITIES?
• PICKERING: The City of Pickering
zoning bylaw prohibits structures in a
front yard, noted Kimberly Thompson,
manager, bylaw enforcement services in
an e-mail. “However, any issue would be
reviewed by staff and a decision made
based on a number of factors, including:
potential safety risk and flooding/freezing
on a City sidewalk, the impact on neigh-
bouring residents, the size and scope of
the structure, etc. Enforcement is often
discretionary based on the specific cir-
cumstances of the issue.”
• WHITBY: Kevin Narraway, the super-
visor of bylaw services for Whitby, said, “I
would encourage any resident who is con-
sidering constructing an ice rink in their
front yard to come visit bylaw services first
to discuss the details of the rink. When
looking at ice rinks in front yards, there are
safety matters to consider such as set-
backs from neighbouring properties and
the road to ensure that any pucks leaving
the ice don’t pose a safety threat to neigh-
bours, pedestrians or vehicles. As well, we
would be interested in reviewing grading
and drainage to reduce the risk of exces-
sive flooding onto nearby properties, side-
walks or the road when the rink thaws.
Lastly, we would review the height of any
boards used to contain the rink to ensure
that they do not constitute a safety hazard
by obstructing sight lines for neighbours
backing their vehicles out of nearby drive-
ways.

the story at www.durhamregion.com.
AJAX -- In the cover picture, Jamie Broomfield, centre, her mother Karen Callery,
right, along with her friend Skylar Flann played on their front yard skating rink. The
family has been told to take down the boards from the rink or face a fine. They’ve
also been told they can use the playground on Haskell Avenue, where the Town has
put in an ice rink. When photographed on January 25, the Town ice rink had no ice.

HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU
A homemade rink is a Canadian tradition. It was
on a backyard rink where the Great One -- Wayne
Gretzky -- began his journey to being the greatest
hockey player ever. However, municipalities in
Durham have different rules on what is and isn’t
allowable, especially when it comes to a rink on
the front lawn. Knowing the rules ahead of time
could save a homeowner time and effort.

PICKERING -- Mississauga Chargers’ Joseph Molinaro couldn’t get the puck past Pickering Panthers goalie Austin Washkurak
during the first period of their Ontario Junior Hockey League game at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The Panthers beat the
Chargers 5-4. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland
Pickering Panthers can’t seem to
string a winning streak together
Points hard to come
by with just 10 games
left in regular season
PICKERING -- When wins are needed the
most, the Pickering Panthers can’t seem
to string a few of them together.
In the thick of the Ontario Junior Hock-
ey League playoff race in the North-East
Conference with Newmarket and Welling-
ton, the Panthers got off on the right foot
to start the weekend, but couldn’t take the
next step.
They registered a 5-4 win on home ice
Friday, Jan. 23 over Mississauga, but in
Stouffville the following night they were
outscored 7-1 in the second half of the
game, leading to an 8-3 loss.
Doug Carter scored twice in the win
over Mississauga, one of those coming on
the power play, as the Panthers cashed in
twice with the man advantage, Brandon
Salerno had the other. Justin Bennett and
Riley Devine also scored for the Panthers.
Devine’s goal, with jut 1:11 left, seemed
to have put the game away, extending
the Panthers lead to 5-3. But Mississau-
ga’s Zach Sternback scored with an extra
attacker on the ice and only 11 seconds
left in the game to make it interesting.
The next night in Stouffville, the Pan-
thers jumped into a 2-1 lead on goals by
Devine and Sean Power in the second
period, but it was all downhill from there.
Stouffville scored three in a row to close
the middle frame with a 4-2 lead, added
two more in the third and then anoth-
er couple later while shorthanded and
into an empty net as the Panthers tried
to claw their way back into the game. A
Chris Sekelyk goal on the power play was
sandwiched in between the doubles by
Stouffville.
Despite the lopsided score, the shots
were almost even, with Stouffville holding
a 43-42 edge.
The Panthers sit just outside the top-
eight for the final playoff seedings coming
out of the weekend. They hold ninth, two
points behind Wellington and four back of
Newmarket. Working against the Panthers
is that both Newmarket and Wellington
have a game in hand.
With just 10 games left, the Panthers
take a 17-21-1-5 record into Newmarket
on Thursday, Jan. 29, where they will be
looking to make up some much-needed
ground. On Friday, Jan. 30 they are home
to Cobourg at 7:30 p.m., then make the
short trip to Whitby on Super Bowl Sun-
day for a 2:10 p.m. start.

OSHAWA -- Kenny Huether’s days
of suiting up for the Oshawa Gen-
erals sure looked numbered with
all the trade activity leading up to
the deadline.
Here was a player, after all, who
had dressed for just 15 of the first
27 games, and only finally had a
crack at playing consistently when
the world junior tournament
camps started and the Generals
lost two key forwards.
Even then, the 17-year-old rook-
ie right winger managed only a
season-best stretch of five games
before sitting three of the next five.
So, when GM Roger Hunt loaded
up before the OHL trade deadline
and acquired three more forwards,
albeit at the expense of two, it
seemed Huether’s ice-time would
be further reduced.
Instead, the 2013 ninth-round
pick took advantage of some inju-
ries and has taken his game to a
new, and entirely unexpected,
level.
Huether exploded for a hat trick,
his first multi-goal game in the
OHL, and led the Generals to a
6-3 win over the London Knights
before a sold-out crowd of 6,036 at
the General Motors Centre on Sun-
day, Jan. 25.
It marked Huether’s eighth
straight game in the lineup and
gave him six goals in the past six
games, after he managed just one
in the previous 24.
“It was pretty surreal. I still can’t
believe it happened,” said the
native of Londesborough, which
is about an hour-and-a-half north
of London. “I’ve just got to move
on from that and look to the next
game and try to keep it consistent.
“It is pretty crazy right now,” he
did admit, following his first media
scrum.
Oshawa was in Ottawa Tuesday,
Jan. 27 to make up a Nov. 7 post-
poned game and in Barrie Thurs-
day before hosting Peterborough
Friday night and Kingston on
Super Bowl Sunday at 2:05 p.m.
