Community Care Durham is a multi- service registered charitable organi- zation that provides care and support services to more than 10,000 Durham clients and their caregivers who have needs related to aging, physical and/or mental health. “Our services are important because they help clients maintain indepen- dence in their own homes,” said Deb Kalogris, administrator of CCD’s Ajax- Pickering home support program.

Submitted photo DURHAM -- Developer and golf course owner Jerry Coughlan, third from left, surprised the audience at the Mayor’s Gala when he announced he was donating $1 million to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. With him, from left, were Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, Rouge Valley Foundation chairwoman Judith Barker and Foundation board member Nancy Maxwell. Jerry Coughlan makes surprise announcement at Mayor’s Gala Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It was an announcement that caught everybody by surprise, even the recipients. Jerry Coughlan, the founder of Cough- lan Homes now operating as J.F.C. Devel- opments Ltd. , announced on Saturday he was donating $1 million to the Rouge Val- ley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Mr. Cough- lan made the announcement during the Mayor’s Gala at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Nov. 21. “It was something planned for later in the year, but my accountant said why not do it tonight. Everything turned out well,” he said. “I earned all the money in Ajax and Pickering and I’m just putting some- thing back, I guess.” Chad Hanna, the president of the Rouge Valley Foundation, said Mr. Coughlan “has always been a supporter of the hospital.” In a statement, Judith Barker, chairwom- an of the foundation’s board of directors, said, “We were of course very excited at this wonderful announcement and proud to receive such generous support. Mr. Coughlan is a true community builder and through such a gift he will put a spotlight on the importance of supporting and help- ing to advance local health care, in a way that benefits everyone.” Mr. Coughlan said, “I was sick last year and Ajax (hospital) took care of me. The foundation has ideas on how to spend the money, Mr. Hanna noted. “It’s really up to Jerry and we haven’t had that discussion yet. Any donor who does that sort of gift will get good advice. We’ll give him a shopping list and he’ll decide,” he said. When asked if he was surprised with the announcement, Mr. Hanna said, “Yeah, I think we were surprised. Pleasantly sur- prised.” The gala raised enough money to buy five Panda Baby Warmers, which are used to keep newborns warm. “It was a great evening.” He said with success of the baby warm- ers and Mr. Coughlan’s announcement, “if there was a dry eye in the house, I didn’t see it.” “It’s a great story. At the hospital, doctors and nurses were walking around Monday with big smiles,” Mr. Hanna said.

It’s believed the suspect, 44-year-old Oren Anthony Callender, is no longer in Canada, Dur- ham police said. Investigators are hoping to hear from anyone who may have had dealings with him. It’s alleged that between 2008 and 2013 a suspect claim- ing to be an officer with Nero Financial Incorporated and KMOS Group Incorporated convinced six people to invest more than $20,000 each, promising them they would dou- ble their money within six months. The suspect, who targeted seniors, stayed in contact with victims for months; then communications ceased and he wasn’t heard from again, police said. Mr. Callender is wanted on six counts of fraud over $5,000. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Price of the fraud unit at 905-579-1520, extension 5353. The Crime Stoppers number is 1-800-222-8477.

FA LLSALES HARVES TTHE Shaida Bandali also sentenced to two years of probation after selling thousands of maternity patient records to RESP firms Jacques Gallant DURHAM -- A former Rouge Valley hos- pital records clerk was fined $36,000 and given two years of probation on Monday for selling thousands of maternity patient records to RESP firms. Shaida Bandali, 62, pleaded guilty ear- lier this year to selling securities without a licence. The Ontario Securities Commission prosecutor wanted her to serve a 90-day intermittent jail sentence, while her law- yer, John Sheard, asked for a $20,000 fine. “I find jail too harsh, but a $20,000 fine too lenient,” Ontario Court Justice Kath- leen Caldwell said in delivering her ruling on Nov. 23. Ms. Bandali worked at Rouge Valley from 1995 to 2014. She accessed confi- dential maternity ward records, includ- ing the names and contact information of mothers as well as the names and birth- dates of their babies, and sold them for between $1 and $2.75 each to salespeo- ple of registered education savings plans, according to an agreed statement of facts read out in court when she entered her guilty plea. While the charge isn’t a criminal offence, Ms. Bandali still faced a penalty of up to five years less a day in jail and a fine of up to $5 million for unregistered trading, which is a breach of the Securi- ties Act. The Ontario Securities Commission estimates that at least 14,450 mothers may have had their confidential patient information stolen. A $412-million class- action lawsuit has since been launched. Ms. Bandali declined to comment out- side the courtroom. Her lawyer said the ruling was fair. “She’s profoundly remorseful and she regrets what she did and wants to move on with her life,” Mr. Sheard said. -- Toronto Star with files from Marco Chown Oved Former Rouge Valley hospital clerk fined $36,000 for selling patient records Toronto Star photo TORONTO -- Shaida Bandali, the Rouge Valley Hospital nurse who stole maternity records and sold them to financial companies, was fined $36,000 and given two years of probation. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 5 AP ArborMemorialInc.

The project, led the by Durham Associa- tion for Family Respite Services, will help individuals with developmental disabilities find housing. “The roots of vibrant communities are diverse neighbourhoods. These are the vibrant neighbourhoods we hope to help build,” said Janet Klees, executive director of DAFRS. DAFRS partnered with the Brockville Association for Community Involvement, Community Involvement Legacy Homes and Intentionally Built Community on the proposal. The project will help families explore a wide range of housing options for family members with a disability. It will engage a dedicated housing resource worker to help families deal with banks and realtors to find housing and will support a small fam- ily group to expand the current housing options by partnering with developers. It will work with the Region to explore com- munity housing solutions. The project will include written resources and a joint hous- ing forum. Dr. Helena Jaczek, minister of Communi- ty and Social Services, called the Durham, Leeds and Grenville project creative and innovative. She said there is no one-size-fits- all housing solution for adults with develop- mental disabilities. “The challenge is find- ing the right kind of support for each indi- vidual. This will help us do that,” said Dr. Jac- zek. The local project was selected by the Developmental Services Housing Task Force to help expand the range of housing options and choices for adults with developmental disabilities. “We wanted any potential housing solu- tions to promote a individual approach,” said Ann Hysert, a housing task force mem- ber who reviewed the proposed projects. Dianne Neubauer, from Pickering, has always worried that when she dies, her daughter, Andrea, will be left without a home. Ms. Neubauer is part of a parent group working to create a small number of units for those with developmental dis- abilities in a typical new build housing development. She said the recent provin- cial announcement gives her hope that she might see her daughter settled and happy in her own home. “It’s hope for the future ... These are things we start thinking about when our sons and daughters are two or three years old, and there’s been no hope for such a long time,” said Ms. Neubauer.

One com- munity’s loss is another’s gain. Grandview Children’s Centre is current- ly experiencing this dilemma but it’s one they’ve been hoping to be in for years. Last week Grandview announced it could be moving to Ajax after Ajax Council granted a five-acre surplus parcel of land in north Ajax for a proposed new Grand- view Children’s Centre headquarters. Securing land has been key to Grand- view Children’s Centre realizing a new $44 million, 68,000 square foot state-of-the- art headquarters. The next step for Grand- view is to secure government and com- munity funding to support the relocation. Grandview Children’s Centre is the only children’s treatment centre in Dur- ham Region that provides clinical out- patient paediatric rehabilitation treat- ment and specialized programs for chil- dren and youth with special needs. With the Region’s rapidly growing population, it is estimated about 10,000 children will require their services by 2031. The organization has clearly outgrown its current location in Oshawa. This isn’t news to anyone, especially families who use the centre. As we stated on these pages in 2014, “The centre has managed to adapt over the years to expand its reach to clientele, but the situation is such that, along with the 5,000 children that are cur- rently benefiting from the programs and services at Grandview, another 2,000 are on a waiting list that won’t get shorter anytime soon without a bigger, better and modernized facility.” Clearly, this donation by Ajax Coun- cil is another step that will help children in communities across Durham Region. Credit goes out to councillors and Mayor Steve Parish for this generous gift. With land now secured, Grandview will be initiating the community component of a capital fundraising program in the coming months. We recognize that these are austere times in terms of government budget- ing. But an expanded centre that can serve individuals and families right here at home will save public dollars over the long-term. A new centre will also generate more than $1 million in development rev- enue and create hundreds of construction and healthcare jobs. When you look at the situation as it cur- rently exists a move from Oshawa to Ajax has more positives than negatives. All that stands in the way of progress is fundrais- ing dollars, something every community across Durham can get behind. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division A promise to my daughter to be brave, be happy, be a hero, be loved, be yourselfOP I N I O N Agree? Disagree? Send us a letter to the editor, max. 200 words. newsroom@durhamregion.com, I t’s Thursday morning and my daughter pulls her chair up to the counter. She’s wearing the same shirt she wore on Monday; her favourite. As she lists off what she’d like for breakfast, I silently read the lines on her T-shirt -– BE BRAVE, BE HAPPY, BE A HERO, BE LOVED, BE YOURSELF –- and I smile. She’s only five but she knows what those words mean. These are the essential things; the things that really matter. In a time where the importance of posi- tive self-image has been brought to the forefront, I have made a pact to myself and to my daughter. I will make certain she knows how important it is to be kind to others but I will also teach her to be kind to herself. I will try to teach her, as a wee lass surrounded by five brothers, how to be strong in body, mind and spir- it. I will tell her I love her smile and adore the sparkle in her eyes. I will teach her how wonderful it feels to laugh and I will act like a fool just to hear her giggle. She will know it’s okay to laugh at herself. I vow to pay attention to all she has to say but I will listen closely to what she does not say as well. I will hold her small hand in mine and tell her just how beautiful and strong her fingers feel. And I will tell her I will always be there for her and hope she will always remember. I will teach her every day how great it feels to do something all by herself but with that knowledge I will make sure she knows she can always come to me for help. Along the way I will teach her how to handle the pres- sures of society and help her to not succumb to the unrealistic expecta- tions promoted by her peers and our culture. I promise to talk to my daughter about who she is instead of how she looks. I will encourage her love of animals, her joy of running, her crazy sense of humour and I will help culti- vate her fearless sense of adventure. And in the end, she will be who she will be -– as we all are. But if I can teach her to be brave, be happy, be a hero, be loved and to just be herself, perhaps she will trav- el along the path of this mystery we call life with her head held high and a smile upon her lips. -- Megan Denby is a local writer and the author of ‘A Thistle in the Mist’, a Scottish historical drama set in Scotland and Nova Scotia. our opinion Grandview Children’s Centre move a bonus for Durham Region Guest column megan Denby Guest columnist Tim Whittaker - Publisher twhittaker@durhamregion.com Fred Eismont - Director of Advertising feismont@durhamregion.com Joanne Burghardt - Editor-in-Chief jburghardt@durhamregion.com Mike Johnston - Managing Editor mjohnston@durhamregion.com Deb Macdonald - Sales Manager dmacdonald@durhamregion.com Abe Fakhourie - Director of Distribution afakhourie@durhamregion.com Cheryl Haines - Composing Manager chaines@durhamregion.com News Advertiser 865 Farewell St., Oshawa ON L1H 6N8 www.durhamregion.com ADVERTISING 905-215-0472 CLASSIFIEDS 905-215-0442 DISTRIBUTION 905-683-5117 GENERAL FAX 905-576-2238 NEWSROOM 905-215-0481 LETTERS: We welcome letters.

Early Nov. 21, police responded to the Liberty Street North area of Bowmanville, north of Taunton Road, after a report of a vehicle striking a tree. The vehicle had extensive damage but the driver couldn’t be found. The K9 unit and Air 2, the York Region police heli- copter, searched the area. They were unable to locate the driver, however at 4:20 a.m., officers respond- ed to a report of an injured man at Lak- eridge Health Port Perry. According to police, a passerby had driven the man to hospital. Police charged Durham police Detec- tive Constable Scott Robertson, a 36-year-old member of the fraud unit, with impaired driving and failing to report an accident. He was released after a promise to appear in court.

In some cases, callers using computer software to display police service phone number DURHAM — Durham Regional Police Service is warning the public about a new twist thieves are using with regards to the ongoing Canadian Revenue Agency scam. Fraudsters have been contacting resi- dents, identifying themselves as mem- bers of the Canadian Revenue Agency to leverage “back taxes”. These scammers are now posing as police officers with the DRPS. In some cases, the callers have used computer software to display the DRPS phone number on the victim’s call display. The fraudsters inform the victims that they are in tax arrears and if payment is not received promptly, they will be arrest- ed. The victims are instructed to make payment through pre-paid credit cards, direct bank deposits, and wire transfers. DRPS does not collect money on behalf of the CRA; nor does the CRA demand payments in such a manner. Police said if you receive such a call, hang up and don’t call them back. To report a scam attempt, visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at: www. antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca or call 1-888-495-8501.

The Muirs live in Bowmanville and Ms. Muir’s son Matthew, 7, is a client at Grand- view Children’s Centre in Oshawa. The announcement last week that Grandview could be moving to Ajax is still good news, she noted. “With a new facility, they’ll offer more programs. He still qualifies for recreation therapy,” Ms. Muir said, adding it’s the only therapy session he now gets at the centre. “The current Grandview is quite small. It’s nice to see it grown,” Ms. Muir said. “I’m hoping in the future to see more as a one-stop kind of thing.” Grandview and the Town of Ajax announced plans for a new 68,000-square- foot, multi-storey centre on Harwood Ave- nue North. The current Grandview was built in 1983 to serve 400 children a year. Currently, it serves about 5,000 children and youths with physical and/or devel- opmental disabilities, along with children with specialized communication needs. Another person looking forward to a new Grandview is Amanda Power. The 19 year old has been a Grandview client since she was one and suffered a sei- zure. She has cerebral palsy and it affects her left side. Ms. Power has had physical and occupa- tional therapies, along with Botox injec- tions in her muscles. She and her family live in Ajax and without Grandview, Ms. Power would have travel into Toronto for therapy. “From day one Grandview became like a second family and I am proud to be a part of the Grandview family,” Ms. Power added. “I will always be a Grandview Kid. They truly change lives in amazing ways.” Staff has also helped Ms. Power develop her personality, she noted. “I went from not talking to talking, from shy to outgoing and confident. They give me the guidance to live my life to the full- est.” As for what will happen with the cur- rent Grandview main site, executive director Lorraine Sunstrum-Mann said, “It is uncertain at this point. The plan all along has been to sell Oshawa, which has been our main location. However we won’t know for sure until the provincial approvals are finalized and we review our options.” Page 6 - Today’s editorial Clients hopeful for proposed new Grandview Children’s Centre in Ajax AJAX -- Grandview Children’s Centre executive director Lorraine Sunstrum-Mann announced at Ajax Town Hall that Grandview Children’s Centre could be moving its headquarters to Ajax, on property donated by the Town.

In 2010-2011, nearly 84,700 Meals on Wheels were delivered, and that number jumped to more than 104,200 in 2014-2015. In the Ajax-Pickering area, more than 15,000 meals were delivered in the last fiscal year. “If we had more volunteers it would help with the demand for the services as it continues to grow,” said Ms. Kalogris. CCD volunteers drove clients to appointments more than 56,000 times in 2014-2015 in Durham, and on more than 8,000 occasions in Ajax and Pickering. Frances Beard has been driving to deliver Meals on Wheels for more than five years. “They’re very flexible,” she said of volunteering with CCD. CCD will work with the volunteer to develop a work- able schedule, whether it’s a few hours a week or a few hours a month. Formerly in the field of Children’s aid and social hous- ing services, Ms. Beard took on the task when she retired and was looking for something to do with her spare time. “It gets you up and out the door and you do stuff with the rest of your day,” she said. She said “It’s really rewarding in terms of meeting the clients. They really appreciate us coming.” Ms. Beard also said delivering the meals give her the opportunity to ensure the clients are doing well. If she has a concern with their health, she lets CCD know and the organization will address the concerns with the fam- ily contact. Mike Garvey is a volunteer transportation driver and takes clients to medical appointments or shopping. “It’s good, it’s interesting. You meet some interesting people who are in need of help,” he said. He said there was one client he took shopping every second Friday for a year and a half, a regular shopping trip he enjoyed. Volunteering with CCD is flexible, he said, and he takes clients where they need to go depending on his sched- ule. “I’d say it’s a good organization to volunteer with. It’s rewarding and you’re serving a need in the community,” said Mr. Garvey. Ms. Beard said she’s always happy to see young people coming on board. “As we get older, we think about what we’ll need in the future too,” she said. More corporations are getting involved in volunteering with CCD -- Lear Corporation in Ajax is a big supporter -- but the charity hopes more will join up. Ms. Kalogris said volunteering promotes a positive corporate image and provides an opportunity for businesses to encourage and support employee involvement in volunteer activities. “We’re very flexible and we’re finding that corporations are coming on board because it’s a good opportunity for companies to give back where they reside,” she said. Those who volunteer receive orientation, training, ongoing support and recognition. Volunteers are needed to support CCD services all across Durham.

Building will service up to 85 Durham Region Transit buses Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Construction has begun on a new bus maintenance facility in Oshawa for Durham Region Transit. The $31-million project will see a new 5,770-square-metre (62,107-square-foot) building being constructed next to an exist- ing garage at the Raleigh Street facility. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Tuesday, Nov. 24 to mark the occasion. “Today marks another milestone in our Hwy. 2 BRT (bus rapid transit) system,” said Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson. The new facility will replace the existing maintenance building, which was built in the early 1960s. It will have the capacity to service 85 buses. Mr. Anderson said, “Safe buses are the backbone of our service.” Chris Burke, the director of service plan- ning for Metrolinx, the provincial body in charge of public transit in the GTA, said, “Bringing transit services to the people is the top priority for us at Metrolinx. Durham Region is growing, just like the GTA and Hamilton. It’s fairly relentless. We’re all work- ing to service that growth.” The facility will be where PULSE buses will be maintained. PULSE is the rapid bus sys- tem travelling along Hwy. 2 from Oshawa to the Scarborough campus of the University of Toronto. In its first year of service, PULSE carried 1.7 million riders, which Mr. Anderson noted “exceeded our ridership forecast by 47 per cent. When you provide good service, people will use that service.” Granville Anderson, the MPP for Durham Riding, said when providing “residents with transit that’s clean, safe and viable, they’ll leave their vehicles at home.” Providing funding for transit, such as the $8.3 million in gas tax funding announced two weeks ago, is “making it easier for resi- dents to use public transit,” MPP Anderson added. Oshawa Mayor John Henry said, “Public transit is important. It’s the great equalizer. You only have to look at the numbers on the PULSE route to know we’re doing a great job.” Speaking to some employees of DRT attending the event, Mayor Henry said, “Today, you can be really proud. We have one of the best transit systems in the world.” Buttcon Ltd. is constructing the building, which will be completed in August 2017. Region breaks ground on new transit facility Ron Pietroniro / Metroland DURHAM — A groundbreaking was held to officially mark the start of construction work on a new maintenance facility for Durham Region Transit. The $31-million project marks an expansion of DRT’s Raleigh Avenue depot in Oshawa. Construction of the 62,107-square-foot facility is slated to run until August 2017. BB pellet found in 5-week-old Courtice kitten Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- The state of two recently- rescued Courtice kittens is worrying animal protection workers, after one was found with a BB pellet lodged in his lip and the second was found missing his tail. “We’re reaching out to the public for more information because it’s an unusu- al state to find the animals in,” said Ali- son Cross from the Ontario SPCA. In early November, volunteers from the animal rescue group, Team Chelsea, were trying to trap two feral kittens and a mother cat on Darlington Boulevard in Courtice. The volunteers were able to trap one of the kittens and he was taken to a vet- erinarian to be examined. The kitten, now named “Sully”, was extremely thin and had a BB pellet lodged in the fold of his lip area. The BB pellet was safely removed and Sully, in the care of Team Chelsea, is recovering well. Days later the mother cat and another kitten were found in the same area. The second kitten, now named “Sly”, is miss- ing his tail. “I believe they’re still getting care,” said Ms. Cross. The Ontario SPCA is considering the state these kittens were found in to be suspicious. The SPCA works to prevent cruelty to animals. Under the Ontario SPCA Act a person found guilty of cruel- ty to animals can face a maximum sen- tence of two years in jail, a $60,000 fine and a lifetime ban on owning animals. The Ontario SPCA is asking anyone with information on these kittens to call 310-SPCA (no area code needed). du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 12 AP West Whitby Development Area Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Water Supply and Sanitary Sewage Servicing NOTICE OF FILING OF ADDENDUM The Regional Municipality of Durham,Works Department 605 Rossland Road East,Whitby Ontario L1N 6A3 Telephone 905-668-7711 or 1-800-372-1102 www.durham.ca/cdeap WORKS DEPARTMENT PUBLIC NOTICE In November 2012 the Regional Municipality of Durham completed the Water Supply and Sanitary Sewage Servicing study for the West Whitby Development Area,which planned the watermains and sanitary sewers required to service West Whitby based on the proposed land uses. The study was conducted in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)planning process,with the Notice of Completion issued on September 28,2012. Proposed Project Modification Plans for subdivision development within West Whitby are now progressing.In order to better accommodate those plans,a revised alignment has been identified for a segment of sanitary sewer.The revised alignment is within an unopened road right-of-way south of Dundas Street that traverses a wetland.Potential impacts to the wetland can be avoided by tunneling the sewer deep below the surface. Construction of the tunnel will be undertaken by installing shafts from the surface,and these shafts will be located outside of the wetland area to mitigate impact. Addendum Under the Class EA process,if any significant modifications are proposed to a project after the Class EA study has been completed,then interested parties must have an opportunity to review and comment on those proposed modifications.As such,the Region has prepared an Addendum that describes the circumstances necessitating the revised sewer alignment,the environmental implications of the change,and the proposed measures to mitigate any environmental impact. The Addendum is available for review on the Region’s website at www.durham.ca/cdeap and Region of Durham Legislative Services.Interested parties should provide written comments and/or requests for additional information to Aaron Christie,Project Manager,at aaron.christie@durham.ca or the address indicated below by Dec.21,2015. If concerns arise regarding the proposed modification to the project that cannot be resolved through discussions with the Region of Durham,a person/ party may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a “Part II Order”).The request must be received by the Minister by Dec.21,2015,with a copy sent to the Regional Clerk and the Region’s Project Manager at the addresses indicated below.If there are no Part II Order requests received by this date,the Region of Durham may proceed with design and construction of the revised project.

Durham CAS attempts bridge building with black community Community feels too many of its children in the system Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It was the first attempt to bridge a gap between the Durham Children’s Aid Society and the local black community. About 50 people attended a roundtable discus- sion on Nov. 21 at the CAS Oshawa offices about the perception in the black community that its children are over-represented in the system. Leroy Clarke of the Inter-organizational Resources Network (Durham) said the aim of the roundtable was “demystifying of the CAS. We’re following through and addressing this issue. It’s one step further to finding a long-term solution to the over-representation of black children in long-term care.” Mr. Clarke was one of four advocates in the black community who approached the CAS in the spring about a dialogue. Joining him were Akilah Haneef-Jabari, Sandra Forsythe and Leyland Gudge. Wanda Secord, the society’s executive director, said, “This is a very important conversation to have with our community.” Being approached to have the discussion “really spurred us on,” she added. The society has an initiative called Collective Hands, which was started by black staff members, she noted. The aim is “how to educate staff on the needs and concerns of black children and their families. It’s a very important group.” Based on the 2011 census, about nine per cent of children in the agency’s care in 2011 were black. In October of this year, it was 13 per cent. “We do have a slight over-representation of black children in our care. There are 80 in our care,” she said. Ms. Haneef-Jabari said in an interview, “We want to hear from the community how the CAS can better service the needs of black families. It’s an important social outcome for black youths in Durham Region.” Black youths were “absolutely disproportion- ately represented. That’s why we need to have this conversation today,” she added Sandra Forsythe said, “We don’t want to see an over-representation.” The percentage of black children under the society’s care is high, she added. “We want a posi- tive dialogue with the Durham CAS. We want to fill in the gaps so it’s positive for everybody.” Ms. Haneef-Jabari said, “The purpose is to focus on anti-black racism. That’s why we’re here today.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 13 AP November 19 –December 2,2015 SALE AlsoAvailablein White $1099 W hir lpool® 19 cu.ft.Bottom-FreezerRefrigerator withFreezer Drawer WRB329RFBM Reg.

Special Pickering Islamic Centre condemns Paris attacks Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Islamic Centre is expressing its deep shock at the terrorist attacks that killed 129 people in Paris Nov. 13. “We categorically condemn these hor- rific attacks and all acts of violent extrem- ism and terrorism wherever and whenev- er they occur,” the Islamic Centre said in a statement. “There is no justification of any kind for such criminal acts.” The release said the Islamic Centre’s thoughts and prayers are with the people of France, and the families of those killed and injured, as well as the first responders and security officials working to track down those responsible. “Muslims have been in a state of mourn- ing,” said outreach director Javed Akbar. In a phone interview, Mr. Akbar called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) a “despi- cable outfit” that has caused enormous grief and heartbreak to the Muslim communi- ty and wants nothing but to create “dispute and discord.” “That’s what their plan is, that’s what their plot is,” he said. “As a society to move forward, we have to stay centred.” He noted ISIS has killed many Muslims, not only in the attacks in Paris that killed 129 peo- ple, but also in the one in Beirut, Lebanon on Nov. 12, in which 43 people were killed. In September, 2014, a glass door was shot out at the Pickering Islamic Centre while peo- ple were worshipping there. Less than a week later, vandals sprayed anti-Islamic graffiti in Pickering. Although acts of hatred against Muslims haven’t occurred in Pickering fol- lowing the Paris attacks, Mr. Akbar said the community is well aware of those that have, such as the Muslim woman attacked in Toronto and the fire set at a mosque in Peter- borough the night after the Paris attacks. “The families are in a state of fear, particu- larly women and children,” said Mr. Akbar. “We have people coming in here of all ages.” He noted the majority of the people in Pickering and Ajax are peaceful. “We get along with people very well,” Mr. Akbar said. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 15 AP Friday,November 27Thursday,November 26 Plus,30%off all other HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY COLLECTION accessories, throws and more HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY COLLECTION signature stripe throw.

The children, ages 3 and 5, were appre- hended by the Children’s Aid Soci- ety, and a man and woman, both from Toronto, were taken into custody after Durham police were called to the Great Blue Heron Casino on Island Road Nov. 24. Police were alerted after the children were found sleeping inside the unlocked van with no parents around. It took about half an hour for cops to locate the parents, police said. Temperatures were near freezing at the time of the incident and although the children showed signs of being cold, they did not require medical attention, police said. A 35-year-old woman identified as the mother of the children, and a man, 58, were both charged with two counts of child abandonment. They were held for a bail hearing. Police did not provide the identities of the accused. ALL PRICES IN EFFECT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27 TO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2015 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

Kidney Car is the quick and easy way to make room in your driveway and make a difference in the lives of kidney patients. Judith Hamilton decided to make her car a Kidney Car when repair costs began to outweigh the value of her car.“Kidney Car seemed like a logical choice when it came time to say goodbye to my 1997 Geo Tracker.Knowing my car would be recycled in an environmentally-friendly manner was important to me and the knowledge that the funds raised would help those living with kidney disease made the decision to donate an easy one,”said Hamilton. Funds raised by Judith’s donation, and thousands of others, are used to support educational programs, research, and help raise awareness about kidney health and organ donation. If you’re trading in your car for something new this fall, donating your car is a good option.Kidney Car provides a great alternative for end of life vehicles with little or no trade ADVERTORIAL Make a Difference Make Your Unwanted Car a Kidney Car value. The best news is that donating a car is fast and easy, and donors receive a tax receipt for a minimumof$300.Ifthereis a tax deduction in your driveway, it’s time to call Kidney Car at 1.866.788.2277. There is still no cure for kidney disease.That’s why The Kidney Foundation continues to be a lead investor in kidney research, contributing over $110 million since 1964.The funds raised through Kidney Car provide critical funding to ensure that we can continue to be the leader in advancing kidney health for all Canadians. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 18 P Couponbookswillbedistributedatthefollowingupcomingevents: SantaClausParade Nov28 TreeLighting Dec4 JoyfulNights Dec8&10 PoinsettiaTea Dec6 Mayor’sLightTour Dec16 NYEFamilyCountdown Dec31 905.420.4620 pickering.ca/destinationpickering Fun B o o k 2015 -2016 Greatcouponsfromourpartners: @PickeringEvents French Immersion Registration We welcome all students into our French Immersion program at schools across the Durham Catholic District School Board.

The identity theft was discovered in May of this year when the victim, 20, learned that a new bank account had been opened in her name, Durham police said. Investigators determined that in early April a woman impersonated the victim to open the account at a bank in Brampton. The suspect tendered the stolen debit card as part of her ID, then deposited sev- eral counterfeit company cheques made to appear they’d been issued by the vic- tim’s employer, police said. Later the fraudster withdrew $2,255 from the pho- ney bank account. Police have released surveillance cam- era images of the suspect. She is a black woman in her 20s with a medium build. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 5364 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Submitted photo DURHAM -- Police are trying to identify a suspect who opened a bank account using a Whitby woman’s name. Investigators believe a stolen debit card was used to carry out the identity fraud. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 19 AP MORE WA YS TO PLAY.MORE WAYS TO HAVE FUN.

The four Young Singers choirs perform their Stars of Wonder concert at Forest Brook Community Church, 60 Kearney Dr., at 3 p.m. In addition to a wide variety of choral music, including familiar Christmas songs, the Singers are premiering Grateful. The piece was composed by Karen Burke, direc- tor of the Juno Award-winning Toronto Mass Choir. “With this new work and through the expertise of Karen Burke, the choir has been enlightened by the power of gospel music,” states artistic director Anna Lynn Murphy. “Last season we enjoyed a fabulous concert tour to Ireland, but we are especially grate- ful for the opportunity to sing in our own community.” Tickets are available online at www. youngsingers.ticketjunior.com. Tickets for assigned seating are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. Visit www.young- singers.ca or call 905-686-9821. WHAT’S ON Last weekend to see Ajax’s Lincoln Trudeau in Communicating Doors WHITBY -- Spanning 40 years and going back and forth between the decades, Com- municating Doors is Whitby Courthouse Theatre’s first play of the new season. Producer Linda Lyons describes it as “a Dr. Who-type show, but a tough one to put into words. “Set in a near dystopian future, a domina- trix flees for her life through a hotel commu- nicating door only to find herself 20 years in the past,” she states. “Stalked by a psycho- path in the present and the past, the oppor- tunity to alter time for the better puts the lives of three women at stake.” The Alan Ayckbourn comedy/thriller is set in suites 647 and 347 of the Regal Hotel in London, England. It runs Nov. 26 to 28 at 8 p.m. (doors 7:30 p.m.). The theatre is at 416 Centre St. S., Whitby (the main entrance and parking is located off King Street). The cast features Lincoln Trudeau of Ajax as Reece Welles, Heather Sessions of Oshawa as Ruella Welles, Reece’s second wife, Mireille Awad-Arnberg of Oshawa as Jessica Welles/Countess Rizzini, Reece’s first wife, Melissa Gibson of Whitby as Poo- pay Daysir (Phoebe), a prostitute, Tom Lynch of Brooklin as Julian S. Goodman, Reece’s business partner, and Garret Lee of Oshawa as Harold Palmer, the house detec- tive. Tickets for WCT productions are $25, and $20 for the Youth Group show at the end of the year. Tickets are available at Lafon- taine (100 Brock St. S., Whitby) and online at www.whitbytheatre.org. Jason Liebregts / Metroland WHITBY -- Tom Lynch and Mel Gibson rehearsed Whitby Courthouse Theatre’s pro- duction of Communicating Doors, the first play of the new season, a comedy/thriller running to Nov. 28 at the theatre. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 31 PGenerals expect to be sellers at OHL deadline Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA — The Oshawa Generals will be sellers leading up to the Jan. 10 OHL trade deadline, to be sure, but most of the rumours circulating on social media are without basis, says Roger Hunt, the team’s vice-president and general manager. Captain Michael Dal Colle, for example, is certainly soliciting plenty of phone calls, but that’s been the case pretty much since July 1, Hunt says, and there’s been no talk yet of waiving his no-trade clause. “He’s never been asked to waive it since he’s been here, so there’s no talk of that,” Hunt says, speaking to rumours he had done so for London, Erie and Barrie. When asked about a specific rumour that would see Dal Colle and defenceman Mitchell Vande Sompel sent to London for 11 draft picks, Hunt scoffs. “Actually, London is one team that I’ve probably never talked to about either one of them,” he says. “I can see people think- ing it, but it’s not true.” Coming off a Memorial Cup champi- onship season made possible by dealing away plenty of draft picks and prospects, the Generals are battling this season to make the playoffs, currently sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference at 10-12-2-1. Hunt says the short-term goal is to make the playoffs again, but the longer-term vision of contending again is more impor- tant, and as such, he admits they will be dealing. “We have to recoup what we did last year,” he explains. “From the start of the year, I think it’s been a case where we’ve got some players who have won a Memo- rial Cup, and that’s very desirable for teams that want to do it.” Hunt admits there has been plenty of interest in Dal Colle and Matt Mistele, who will be gone from the league next season, but says he would be reluctant to part with the likes of Vande Sompel and Anthony Cirelli, NHL draft picks who are very likely to be back. “It would probably take a ridiculous amount based on the fact these guys are eligible to return to the league,” Hunt says. “You can never say no, that it would never happen, but it would take an awful lot.” When asked if any deals were imminent, Hunt was noncommittal, but he did say he hasn’t ruled out any trading partner. “We don’t want to eliminate anybody, but it can’t be reckless,” he says. “Our time- line is when we get a significant offer to feel as though we’re going to make ourselves better.” SP O R T S Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Sending it back AJAX -- Dunbarton Spartans’ Matthew McKittrick played the ball against the Ajax Rams during their LOSSA AAA junior boys’ volleyball game at Ajax High School. Dunbarton won 2-0. Doherty committed to judo Brad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX — Bill Doherty has certainly got the most out of his association with judo over the past 60 years. And, the argument could be made, judo has been the biggest benefactor of his countless contributions. The latest in a long line of awards and recognitions came the way of the 83 year old recently when the International Judo Federation bestowed an honorary refer- ee designation on him, presented at the 2015 Ontario open judo championships. “It’s something they do for people who put a lot into it,” he said of the award. “It’s showing a little respect for what you’ve done.” It’s just a small sample of what Doherty has contributed to the sport. Doherty is recognized in these parts as the owner and operator of the Ajax Budokan Judo Club that uses the Ajax Community Centre as its home base. His fascination with the sport started way back as a youngster in his homeland of Northern Ireland. A trip to the library started a long and successful partner- ship with the sport. “When I was a kid back in the old country in Ireland, I was about 10, I got a book out of the library on judo,” he recalled. “The pictures were stickmen doing judo. I looked at it and saw photo- graphs of smaller people throwing big- ger people over their shoulders, hips and heads. I said to myself, ‘Geez, I’d love to be able to do that.’ “I kept that book and still have it today.” He tried to emulate what he saw in the book, but without any judo clubs in the area, he couldn’t advance his inter- est until he came to Canada at the age of 22. Just months after arriving in 1954, he joined a club in Toronto, and five years later, started his own club, and while the locations have changed over the years, it has been in existence for more than 56 years. The Ajax club was a family affair, with his three sons (Kevin, Karl and Keith) as well as his daughter (Karina) earn- ing their black belts. Even his wife, Irene, reached brown belt before start- ing a family. Kevin enjoyed international success, a 1979 Pan Am silver medallist and 1981 bronze medallist at the world championships. Kevin and Karl are still involved with their dad at the Ajax club. “What we did, they did,” said Doherty about having his family join him on the mat. “On weekends we didn’t party or go out. We don’t drink or smoke. What we did was put everything into our kids and the sport of judo. That’s what they want- ed to do and that’s what we wanted them to do. “Like a lot of hockey families, my kids stayed with it for quite a few years.” The list of athletes who have succeed- ed internationally in the sport under Doherty’s guidance is impressive. For example, at the Olympic Games in 1988, three of the eight members of the Canadian team began their careers with Doherty. More recently, Jessica Klimkait is the 2013 world cadet champion. As a referee, he has travelled the world to oversee international championships in the USA, United Kingdom, Hunga- ry and Netherlands. He was president of Judo Ontario from 1980-1984, was a member of the national and provincial executive boards for several terms, as well as a member of the provincial and national high performance committee. Rightfully so, his dedication earned him induction into the Judo Canada and Judo Ontario halls of fame as a builder in 1999. He still heads to the Ajax club six times a week. He’s not slowing down, though his age has placed some restrictions on what he can do. “You don’t do things when you get older the way you did before,” he rea- soned. “Your mind, you can see things in your mind. You can see yourself working out great like you used to. But it doesn’t happen when you go on the mat. Your reactions are slower, your balance isn’t du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 32 AP Sing your way into the Holiday Season with a copy of our NO LIMIT ON ORDERS -While quanitites last For those who love the Holidays ...

That best describes the scenario of Pickering High School returning to the OFSAA Triple-A senior girls’ basketball championships for the third straight year. This year’s trip came courtesy of a 43-24 victory over Notre Dame on their home court in the LOSSA final. A win is a win, but the tape from this one won’t be committed to the archives, said Pickering head coach Mike Gorden- sky. “As a coach was I happy with how we played? No. But at the same time, at this time of the season, it’s more about win- ning,” said Gordensky of the game. “It was a pretty sloppy game. It wasn’t esthetically pleasing. It was scrappy. We played pretty well defensively, obviously, holding them to 24 points. I thought we missed a lot of easy chances. “Notre Dame played tough. It was on their court, they have a few graduating seniors. They weren’t going to go away lightly. They fought until the end.” Pickering cruised through an 8-0 reg- ular season, outscoring the opposition 441-218 in the process. In the semifinal, they easily got past J. Clarke Richardson 58-31 to advance to the LOSSA final. The season served as the third in a row that the Pickering senior girls’ team has gone undefeated in both the LOSSA regular season and playoffs. At the OFSAA championships from Nov. 26-28 in Windsor, Pickering has been seeded No. 6 in the 18-team tourna- ment, and will open against 16th-seeded Sir Wilfred Laurier on Thursday. “I think the seeding is very fair,” said Gordensky of where his team is slated among the province’s best. “I actually said that I think we would be the sixth seed. I actually really like our draw in terms of matches to make it to the quar- ter-finals. “It we make it to the quarter-finals and everything holds, we’ll play Thom- as More (No. 3 seed), who we’ve played before and I think we have a chance to beat them.” The top seed in the tournament is St. Mary of Hamilton. Pickering’s basketball program is on quite a run of late. All four teams, the junior and senior girls and boys, made it to the LOSSA final last year. The trend has continued this year, with both the junior and senior girls’ teams advanc- ing to the championship game. It was a sweep for Pickering on the court, as the junior girls beat Sinclair 47-27 to win the LOSSA title. Jason Liebregts / Metroland AJAX -- The Pickering High School senior girls’ basketball team is competing at the OFSAA basketball championships for the third year in a row. They are seeded sixth for this year’s championships in Windsor. Pickering seeking OFSAA glory Jr. Lightning continue to stay in first place AJAX — The Durham West Jr. Lightning continue to lead the way in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League. A 3-1 victory over Burlington on home ice at the Ajax Community Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 24 improved the Lightning to 13-1- 1-2, as they occupy top spot in the league as the halfway mark nears. The Lightning hold a two-point lead over Stoney Creek at the top of the standings, with a game in hand. The Lightning were actually down by one to Burlington just 17 seconds into their most recent outing, the visitors taking just three seconds to convert on a power play. But the Lightning came back with a power- play goal of their own by Maria Dominico, and another marker by Jaden Head later in the period to grab a 2-1 lead. After a scoreless second, Samantha McK- enzie finally put it away for the Lightning with an empty-net goal late in the third with just 2:01 left to play. The Lightning outshot Burlington 29-16 on the night. The victory came on the heels of a 2-1 home ice loss to Whitby on Saturday, Nov. 21. Charlea Pedersen scored a power-play goal for the Lightning in the third period to tie it, but Whitby earned the extra point with a goal just 39 seconds into overtime. This weekend the Lightning will host Bar- rie on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 7:10 p.m., and Oakville on Sunday, Nov. 29 at 2:40 p.m. Panchan sets new basketball scoring record at Durham College OSHAWA — Lindsay Panchan continues to show why she is regarded as one of the top college basketball players in the country. It was all Panchan at the Campus Recre- ation and Wellness Centre on Friday, Nov. 20, as the second-year sport management stu- dent led the Durham College women’s bas- ketball team with 41 points in its 66-64 vic- tory over the Algonquin Thunder. In the pro- cess, the Ajax resident broke Durham Col- lege’s record for most points in a single game. Durham’s record was previously held by Jenn Hevey at 38 points. She set the record in Barrie on Oct. 16, 1998 against Georgian Col- lege, when the Lords defeated the Grizzlies 75-26. “I’m extremely happy to find out I broke the record here at Durham College, but we aren’t even halfway through the season, so we’re focusing on the next game for us against Centennial,” said Panchan, a graduate of Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. “I’ll take a little bit of time to enjoy it, but we’re back in the gym preparing for our next game and that’s where our focus is right now.” For her effort, Panchan was named Dur- ham College’s female student-athlete of the week. Panchan has made the most of her time at Durham. Last season, her first at the school, she was named the Female Athlete of the Year after leading the OCAA and nation in scoring average with 25 points per game, the second-highest total in the history of the OCAA. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 33 AP ELLESMER E R D .

BRING A FRIEND&MAKE A FRIENDA NE IGHBOUR** SportS Panthers fall short at St. Michael’s TORONTO — Turns out a four-goal deficit midway through the first period isn’t too much for the Pickering Panthers to over- come. But a two-goal deficit late in the third peri- od is. The Panthers found themselves in a deep hole at St. Michael’s on Friday, Nov. 20, down 4-0 just 9:51 into the Ontario Junior Hockey League game. But a goal by Blake Coffey on the power play before the period was out, and then three unanswered in the second period, two by Owen Scuralli and the other by Chris Sekelyk, had the game all square at four each heading into the third period. But the only two goals of the third peri- od went the way of St. Michael’s in the final 6:09, both by Thomas Beretta, completing his hat trick, for a 6-4 final. The loss was the fifth in a row for Pickering, who are winless in seven games now, with a tie and six losses coming over that stretch, with one of the setbacks in overtime. Pickering will take an 8-12-1-3 record into Newmarket on Thursday, Nov. 26, then host Buffalo on Friday, Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Markham on Sunday, Nov. 29 at 6:30 p.m. Manji is OUA tennis player of year TORONTO — Zain Manji helped lead the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men’s tennis team to the top and, for his efforts, some personal accolades have come his way. The Ajax resident has been named the Men’s Player of the Year and an OUA all- star after he helped the Blues capture their first OUA title since 2011. Manji, a third-year computer science student-athlete, went undefeated at the OUA tennis championship. After opening the tournament with an 8-1 doubles victory over UOIT’s No. 1 pair, Manji followed that up with a 6-0 victory over UOIT’s Rob Petrican in singles action. Along with partner Sasha Obucina, Manji went on to defeat Montreal’s No. 2 doubles team, 8-1, before defeating the Carabins No. 1 singles player Hugo Maurice 7-5, 6-3. When his team needed him the most, Manji capped off the championship with an 8-6 victory over Western’s No. 2 doubles pair of Kurtis Alexandre and fellow OUA all-star Andre Szilvassy, while also defeat- ing Szilvassy 6-2, 6-4 in the No. 1 singles match. Manji is a Pickering High School grad. �� du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 2 6 , 2 0 1 5 34 P OfferendsNovember30,2015.AvailablewithinnetworkcoverageareasavailablefromBellMobility;seebell.ca/coverage.One-timeconnectioncharge($15)applies.9-1-1governmentmonthlyfeeinNL:$0.75,NS:$0.43,PEI:$0.70,NB:$0.53,AB:$0.44,SK:$0.62,QC:$0.40.Taxesextra.Otherconditionsapply.IfyouendyourCommitment Periodearly,aCancellationFeeapplies;seeyourAgreementfordetails.Subjecttochangewithoutnotice.*Reprintedfromwww.pcmag.comwithpermission.©2015ZiffDavis,LLC.AllRightsReserved.(1)Withnewactivationsorupgradesonthefollowingplans:InAB,BC,NB,NL,NT,NS,NU,ON,PE,YT:PLUSdevicepriceavailable with $70/mo.spendbeforetax($50/mo.plan+$20/mo.for500MBdata).InSK:$70/mo.spendbeforetax($50/mo.plan+$20/mo.for2GBdata).InMB:$55/mo.spendbeforetax($45/mo.plan+$10/mo.for2GBdata).InQC:$75/mo.spendbeforetax($55/mo.plan+$20/mo.for4GBdata).Promotionalpricingmayapply;visitbell.ca/rateplans fordetails.(2)Withnewactivationsorupgradesonthefollowingplans:InAB,BC,NB,NL,NT,NS,NU,ON,PE,YT:LITEdevicepriceavailablewith$60/mo.spendbeforetax($40/mo.plan+$20/mo.for500MBdata).InSK:$60/mo.spendbeforetax($40/mo.plan+$20/mo.for2GBdata).InMB:$45/mo.spendbeforetax($35/mo.plan+$10/ mo.for2GBdata).InQC:$65/mo.spendbeforetax($45/mo.plan+$20/mo.for4GBdata).Promotionalpricingmayapply;visitbell.ca/rateplansfordetails.StarWars©&TMLucasfilmLtd.SamsungGalaxyS6,GalaxyNote4,GalaxyS5,andGalaxyA5aretrademarksofSamsungElectronicsCo.,Ltd.,usedinCanadaunderlicense.
