sharon Baksh pleaded
guilty to manslaughter
in the death of her
Oshawa neighbour
Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Sharon Baksh has been sen-
tenced to 12 years in prison for the brutal
killing of her neighbour, a frail senior who
was stabbed dozens of times after interrupt-
ing a break-in in her Oshawa apartment.
The killing of Alletta Rusnell was a “hei-
nous” offence that arose from Ms. Baksh’s
desire to take advantage of a vulnerable
senior, Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass
said in passing sentence Tuesday, April 12.
“The offence took place as part of a home
invasion,” the judge said in his reasons for
sentencing. “The death of Ms. Rusnell was
the end result of a brutal and violent assault
upon an 89-year-old, physically small and
frail woman.”
The 12-year sentence was a joint submis-
sion by the Crown and defence, made after
Ms. Baksh, who had been charged with sec-
ond-degree murder, pleaded guilty to man-
slaughter last week.
Ms. Baksh, who has been in custody since
being arrested hours after the killing on June
1, 2013, was given credit for the equivalent
of more than four years in pretrial custody.
The enhanced credit is customarily given to
offenders who are incarcerated as they await
trial.
She is left with a little over seven years and
eight months to serve.
Ms. Baksh’s trial began in February. Court
heard that at the time of the killing Ms. Baksh
was deep into a days-long binge on alcohol
and drugs.
When the money ran out on June 1, 2013,
she flew into a rage and attacked her live-in
boyfriend Glen Gould with a knife, inflicting
superficial wounds. He fled their Wayne Ave-
nue apartment and didn’t return until nearly
midnight.
When he came home, Ms. Baksh made a
shocking confession, court heard: she admit-
ted she’d killed “the neighbour “ -- Ms. Rus-
nell, who had lived in her neatly-kept apart-
ment across the hall for more than 20 years.
Straight away Mr. Gould called police. Ms.
Rusnell was found dead on the floor -- an
autopsy revealed she’d been assaulted and
stabbed at least 149 times. Her apartment
had been ransacked.
Ms. Baksh was charged with second-
degree murder early June 2.
At trial, defence lawyer Paul Burstein
launched a searing cross-examination of
Mr. Gould, calling into question his charac-
ter and the truthfulness of his testimony. Mr.
Gould strenuously rejected a suggestion he
was the real killer.
A second key Crown witness, whose iden-
tity is protected by a publication ban, testi-
fied she heard Ms. Baksh confess to the kill-
ing while both women were being held at the
Central East Corrections Centre in Lindsay.
The woman denied Mr. Burstein’s sug-
gestion she was testifying against Ms. Baksh
because she hoped for favourable treat-
ment in dealing with her own crimes, which
included multiple counts of fraud relating to
the passing of fake prescriptions at pharma-
cies.
When information arose that appeared
to cast doubt on the jailhouse informant’s
credibility, the defence and Crown agreed
to a plea of manslaughter, which meant Ms.
Baksh admitted she is responsible for Ms.
Rusnell’s death.
Ms. Baksh declined an opportunity to
address the court before she was sen-
tenced.
Twelve-year sentence handed down for ‘heinous’ killing of Durham senior
Metroland file photo
OSHAWA -- Flowers and cards were left at the scene following the murder of 89-year-
old Alletta Rusnell. Ms. Rusnell was killed June 1, 2013 following an altercation with
a neighbour in their Wayne Avenue apartment building. Sharon Baksh has pleaded
guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Tuesday.

PICKERING -- Motorists be aware --
road work in Pickering will affect traffic
this summer.
Construction work will cause lane
restrictions around the intersection of
Brock and Kingston roads starting the
week of April 18.
Durham Region is undertaking the
work on Kingston from west of Brock
east to Bainbridge Drive, while the work
on Brock will be from south of Kingston
to north of Finch Avenue.
Work includes storm sewer and water
main replacements, road widening,
sidewalk reconstruction, traffic signal
replacements, and the addition of bus-
only and bicycle lanes.
The work is scheduled to be finished
by November, although unfavourable
weather conditions may influence the
work schedule.
The Region realizes that the work may
be disruptive, and will make every effort
to complete the work as quickly and effi-
ciently as possible. Drivers are asked to
exercise caution for the safety of pedes-
trians, cyclists and construction work-
ers.

Durham Region says Queen’s
Park needs to walk its talk on
cycling safety and build bike-safe
approaches to interchanges
Tess Kalinowski
newsroom@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Durham Region politicians and cyclists say
the province needs to lay a little more asphalt in the name
of safe cycling around its $1.2-billion Hwy. 407 east expan-
sion.
Queen’s Park talks a good line about encouraging cycling
in Ontario, but it isn’t spending the money to put bike
lanes on the side of roads approaching the bridges and
interchanges on the new highway, they say.
“We had clear commitments that cycling infrastructure
was going to be incorporated in the crossings of these free-
ways, and now we’re not getting what was promised. The
Province has made a big deal about promoting cycling
and facilitating cycling on their provincial infrastructure,
and here’s a classic example of: Do what you say,” said
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish.
About 35 bridge projects have been identified as region-
al cycling routes, and so far, each of five bridges that are
open have included bike lanes on the bridge decks, said
Bruce MacDonald, of the Durham Region Cycling Coali-
tion, which advocates on behalf of 1,500 cyclists in five
clubs.
But only one -- Anderson Bridge in north Whitby -- has
a bike-friendly approach, because the Town pushed for it,
he said.
Another bridge on Ashburn Road had nine or 10 inches of
pavement on the side and three or four feet of gravel, said
Mr. MacDonald.
Putting a bike lane on the side of the road about a quar-
ter kilometre approaching the bridge from each direction
is a matter of safety rather than convenience, he said.
Because the bridges are at the top of a slope, cars that
move across the white line to pass cyclists will inevitably
face oncoming traffic at the top of the hill and be forced
back to the right, where they risk hitting cyclists, said Mr.
MacDonald.
Mr. Parish, Whitby Mayor Don Mitchell and regional
Chairman Roger Anderson have written Transportation
Minister Steven Del Duca to urge the province to provide
safe cycling and walking connections at the interchanges
from the outset of the new highway opening, expected this
spring.
“If this situation is rectified now, while construction is in
the process, safe cycling connections can be created at a
fraction of the cost needed to retrofit these interchanges,”
said the April 1 letter.
Doing so would also mean sparing cycling infrastructure
from the risk of having to battle for scarce municipal fund-
ing.
It just “absolutely makes no sense” to build expensive
bridges that accommodate cars and bikes, and then fail to
spend a little more to make sure the bridge approaches are
safe for cyclists, Mr. Parish told the Toronto Star.
If the Province forces municipalities to pay, the cycling
infrastructure will wait years and taxpayers will spend
more in the end, he said.
The Durham highway expansion also includes bridges
on Hwy. 412 linking the 407 and the 401, and a future sec-
tion of Hwy. 418 through Clarington between the 407 and
the 401.
“After all these years of getting nowhere, (cycling) is finally
getting traction and we’re finally focusing on connecting
our communities and getting some kind of cycling net-
work,” said Mayor Parish.
“When you put 400-series highways through the com-
munity and you don’t link over properly those freeways,
you put barriers in place that are extremely hard to over-
come.”

looking north. He believes these bridges are not safe for cyclists because the shoulders are not wide enough.

This is the second part of a three-part series looking
at the emerging innovation and technological-based
businesses in Durham Region.
DURHAM -- Dan Miguel’s passion for fish-
ing has taken him from the waterfront to
the boardroom.
The 31-year-old Ajax resident is co-
founder of National ProStaff, an online
sport fishing platform launched in 2011.
The business, located in the Spark Com-
mercialization and Innovation Centre in
Oshawa, has exploded in growth during the
past year.
“I’ve always fished,” Mr. Miguel said sit-
ting at his boardroom table.
He’s dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, not
something associated with the old school
image of a businessman. But make do
doubt, Mr. Miguel is all business.
“I really wanted to make a career in the
fishing industry,” he said.
The career Mr. Miguel originally wanted
for himself was in sport fishing, not some-
thing that gets a lot of media attention. He
fished prostaff (sponsored angler) for seven
years, sponsored by Rapala, the world’s
largest manufacturer of fishing lures and
other fishing-related products. This took
him to fishing tournaments and shows
all over North America. He eventually put
away his fishing pole and worked for three
years in marketing.
“One out of four people fish,” he said. “It’s
bigger than hockey.”
It was during his time with Rapala that
Mr. Miguel noticed a disconnect between
anglers and brand ambassadors. There are
hundreds of sport fishers out there but how
do they get sponsored?
“There are no scouts out on the lakes or
rivers (looking for great anglers),” he said.
The world of sport fishing is all about who
you know, explained Mr. Miguel. Fortu-
nately for him, he knew a lot of people in
the industry, but for the vast majority of
anglers, there was a massive disconnect.
So he decided to connect them by creat-
ing an online platform, www.nationalpros-
taff.com. He quit his marketing job and
he and his friend and fellow University of
Ontario Institute of Technology grad Bran-
don Wetzel launched their NPS website
platform in 2011. The next summer anoth-
er friend and UOIT alumni Chris Lazarte
invested in the company and joined as a
partner and co-founder.
NPS connects thousands of anglers, top
brands, tournaments, and outfitters. It dis-
plays the latest products top anglers use,
allows products to be endorsed by anglers
on their profiles and tagged to content so
users know exactly what products work.
For prostaffers and companies, NPS
offers a place to stay better connected with
fans and sponsors and helps companies
better manage their teams.
NPS also allows users to highlight their
knowledge and talent, generate a fan fol-
lowing, and apply directly to brands for
sponsorship.
Despite NPS’s success to date, when the
site was launched even Mr. Miguel admit-
ted it was a bit nerve-wracking.
“I had no guarantee that anyone would
want to use it,” he said.
But reel them in they did, especially after
winning the Spark Centre’s Ignite compe-
tition in 2014. The $25,000 prize money,
joining the Centre’s Thrive Accelerator Pro-
gram and moving their headquarters to the
Loft has helped NPS expand from two peo-
ple to 10 full timers.
“That competition was massive for us,”
Mr. Miguel said.
With the prize money, NPS was marketed
to the US. The site now boasts 200 brands
and has attracted pro angler Brent Ehrler.
Along the way the Spark Centre helped
NPS get about $100,000 in grant money.
“These guys (Spark Centre) make it hard
to leave,” Mr. Miguel said.
But the business hasn’t been without
its challenges. NPS may be all about fish-
ing but in order to build and maintain its
online platform, it requires innovative tal-
ent.
Website developers are hard to come by
in Durham Region, Mr. Miguel said.
“We’ve had a rough road to get to where
we are,” he said.
Of the 10 employees at NPS, only two are
from Durham Region -– Mr. Miguel and
co-founder Mr. Lazarte. The rest commute
from Toronto.
“We had a really hard time finding a
development team,” he said.
Mr. Miguel said knowing what he knows
now about the business, if he went back
to university he would study to become a
computer science software developer. He
graduated in 2007 with a degree in com-
merce from UOIT.
“I couldn’t think of a better skill right
now,” he said.
It’s this type of talent that’s necessary to
maintain and attract more innovative and
technology-based businesses to Durham
Region.
Kathy Weiss, chairwoman of Spark Cen-
tre’s board of directors and the economic
development and tourism director at the
Region of Durham, agreed. She said soft-
ware developers are not only in short sup-
ply in Durham Region but around the
world.
“There’s definitely not enough in our
region,” she said.
Competing with Durham Region’s Spark
Centre in the quest for more software
developers are its main competing innova-
tion hubs, the MaRs Discovery District in
Toronto, the Canadian Innovation Centre
in Waterloo and Communitech in Kitchen-
er. Spark Centre is the most eastern innova-
tion hub in the GTA and also the newest.
“We are definitely behind the eight-ball
when it comes to Waterloo, Kitchener and
Toronto (when it comes to software devel-
opers),” Ms. Weiss said.
The key to attracting and maintaining
software developers in Durham is through
UOIT and Durham College. Simply put, to
meet the demand and build innovative and
technology-based businesses in Durham
Region there’s a need for more graduates.
Ms. Weiss said the Region’s never really
sat down to talk about it but “this needs to
happen soon.”
This isn’t news to Spark Centre CEO Den-
nis Croft. He sees it as the Region’s No. 1
need to fostering an innovative sector.
“We need hardcore software developers,”
he said. “That kind of skillset is needed by
all companies.”
-- The third and final part of this series will look at what
is being done at our post-secondary institutions to
produce more technology-based graduates to foster the
innovative cluster in Durham Region

Durham theft suspects busted in northern Ontario
DURHAM -- Two men wanted for the
theft of fishing gear in Durham Region
have been arrested by cops in northern
Ontario.
Durham police released surveillance
camera images of the suspects after the
theft of $700 worth of fishing gear from a
Whitby Canadian Tire outlet in February.
An Ottawa police officer recognized the
men as suspects in thefts in Ottawa and
Smiths Falls, police said.
The suspects were arrested March 3 in
Sault Ste. Marie and found to be in pos-
session of $17,000 worth of stolen prop-
erty, police said. A report from Sault Ste.
Marie police said the two were busted
after trying to steal razor blades from a
Walmart.
That arrest led police to charge Mind-
augas Kulisauskas, 24, and 39-year old
Leonid Baliukevic, both of Lithuania,
with one count each of theft under $5,000
and one count of possession of property
obtained by crime.
The men are not Canadian citizens and
their charges have been forwarded to
immigration officials, police said.

Paul Lafrance, star
of Disaster Decks,
tells Durham students
of the large, looming
deficit in the trades
Tabitha Reddekop
treddekop@durhamregion.com
OSHAWA -- Paul Lafrance, star of
HGTV’s Disaster Decks, encouraged high
school students to pursue jobs in the
skilled trades during a motivational talk
at Eastdale Collegiate.
The self-proclaimed deck god spoke to
350 Durham Region students on April 6
at a trade fair held by the Oshawa school
about alternative job options.
“There’s always going to be a need for
things to be built,” explained Mr. Laf-
rance.
He described an upcoming trades cri-
sis in Canada as older workers retire and
fewer people go into the trades. He said
that by 2020, the trades will have a defi-
cit of one million people.
“It’s going to cost you more to change
your toilet, than it will be to hire a law-
yer,” he said.
Mr. Lafrance said a cause of the deficit
is the reputation linked to the trades.
“There’s a stigma attached to the
trades that says anyone that works with
their hands are lesser in the eyes of the
culture and society.”
He said this idea sprang up more than
200 years ago.
“Before the Industrial Revolution, peo-
ple who worked with their hands, like
masons and carpenters, were just as
prestigious as being a doctor or a law-
yer.”
But after the revolution, that
changed.
“People started relating working with
your hands to someone stamping a
licence plate or putting toothpaste caps
on bottles.”
This stigma hasn’t stopped high school
students in Durham Region from want-
ing to pursue a job in the trades.
Parish, a Grade 12 student at Eastdale,
hopes to be a crane operator after gradu-
ation.
“My family has always been in the
trades,” he said. “I just like to work with
my hands and I don’t like to be stuck
behind a desk.”
Mr. Lafrance says luckily for Parish,
this stigma is changing as people realize
the need for trade workers.
“The market is flooded with people
who are tech savvy, but they can’t hang
a picture on a wall,” he said.
Mr. Lafrance, who is also the owner of
Paul Lafrance’s Designs, used his own
success story to encourage students. He
said he was never interested in school
and found a number of odd jobs after
he dropped out, but was never satisfied.
One day, while working for a deck com-
pany in Mississauga, he found his pas-
sion, so he started his own exterior and
interior design company to explore his
creativity.
Now that company has recently cele-
brated 25 years and has been the focus
of several TV shows, including Decked
Out, Disaster Decks and Deck Wars.

DURHAM -- Paul Lafrance of HGTV’s ‘Decked Out’ spoke to students at a Durham
District School Board skilled trades fair for Grade 9 to 12 students at Eastdale Collegiate
in Oshawa recently.

Spring hasn’t
been kind
to kinglets
“On our morning valley walk
--- golden-crowned kinglets, one
in especially splendid attire,”
wrote Mary Lund in an e-mail on
the weekend.
I couldn’t help but smile,
picturing this tiny, olive-grey
migrant with a glorious gold
streak atop its head hopping
about in a bush at eye level along
the Don River. Delighting every
human walking by.
Being insect eaters, all the
kinglets that got this far north
already -- and lots have -- would
need to seek sheltered places
down out of the wind in a cold
snap, corners where a few hardy
midges might be hatching. Luck-
ily for kinglets, they can also find
egg cases of spiders and insects,
tucked in cracks in tree bark, to
keep them going.
Swallows, unfortunately, don’t
have that option. They feed sole-
ly on airborne insects and need
great swarms of hatching midges
to fuel their flight and survival.
The small flocks of tree swallows
reported in south Ajax a week
ago most likely didn’t make it
through this last long plunge in
temperatures brought on by the
polar vortex. Some years the ear-
liest returning tree swallows get
the best tree cavities and nest-
ing boxes to raise their young.
Some years, when nest boxes are
cleaned out, their small feath-
ered corpses are found huddled
together, where they starved to
death. April really is the cruelest
month.
I was touched by the concern
Martha Sarkozy expressed for
the many robins she was seeing
in her neighbourhood in north
Oshawa, “... on every driveway
and lawn. You can’t drive a block
without seeing at least ten,” she
wrote in an e-mail. And when
we went on to discuss how rob-
ins might be handling the cold
snap, with earthworms tucked
deep underground, she wrote,
“Should I buy berries??”
Though squirrels would
promptly devour any fruit she’d
put out, I assured her robins
might still find a few of last year’s
buckthorn, viburnum berries
and crabapples in creek valleys
and yards. Plus these big bulky thrushes can
live off their fat reserves for a while in stress-
ful times -- a good reason most birds try to
put on lots of fat before starting their long
flights north in spring.
Mary Millson of Courtice also contacted
me about robins, her favourite birds, one of
the best phone conversations I had all week.
The spry 90 year old told me she’d like the
robin to be Canada’s national bird, “because
they’re beautiful.” She doesn’t have a com-
puter at the retirement centre where she
lives, so I promised I’d go online and register
her vote.

has more than 3,500 species on her life list of birds,
seen in far-flung corners of the planet.

Geared to Golf Performance Center ADVERTISING FEATURE
When Jake Patte and Ryan Starr started the Geared to Golf program back in 2014, they had a clear vision of what they wanted it to become.What they didn’t see coming was how success-ful it was going to be in such a short period of time.“When we started this two years ago, there was no way that we could have imagined how quickly it would grow,” says Patte. “It’s cer-tainly an exciting time to be on the golf devel-opment side of the business, growing the game at the various levels of junior golf.”Geared to Golf is primarily based out of Lak-eridge Links Golf Club, where they have a 2000 square foot indoor training centre, as well as 36 holes of golf at the Lakeridge Links and Whispering Ridge golf courses located in Brooklin. They also use the Eldorado Golf Club in Brooklin for many of its grassroots programs. While the program encompasses everything from introducing kids as young as five to the game, right up to the more competi-tive side with kids who want to advance to the next level academically and competitively, the premise is still the same: it’s all about develop-ment.In a short time, Patte and Starr have witnessed first-hand how the programs have benefitted the kids who have registered.“It’s very rewarding for us as coaches to see
them develop as golfers and as kids,” Patte said proudly. Patte, an Oshawa native who graduat-ed from the University of Akron in Ohio while on a golf scholarship, is able to share his expe-rience with golfers looking to follow a similar path to his.“To be an elite golfer, you have to have bal-ance,” he says of the demands put on kids seek-ing a scholarship. “If your nutrition or physical fitness isn’t good, or you have something going on emotionally, like poor grades in school, that’s going to affect you on the course. Prop-
er training and preparation is vital for aspiring junior golfers.”“We try to teach our athletes about balance, that all the different areas in their lives must be in check, because that will either positively or negatively affect their game.”For the younger ones just starting out, it’s about having fun at the golf course. Patte, along with Geared to Golf coaches Brianna Cooper and Starr, incorporate a variety of games to assist in the learning process and engage young golfers. The trio shares a passion for introducing and
exposing kids to the game of golf.“High fives are my favourite thing as a coach,” laughs Patte. “We stay as positive as we can, because ultimately if kids are enjoying golf they will want to keep learning and develop-ing in this amazing game that we, as coaches, love so much.”For more information on the Geared to Golf programs, visit www.gearedtogolf.com, or contact Jake Patte directly through email at jake@geartedtogolf.com, or by phone at 905-626-1658.
BROOKLIN -- The Geared to Golf indoor training centre is located at the Lakeridge Links and Whispering Ridge golf courses in
Brooklin. The 2000 square foot facility is utilized year-round. Submitted photo

DAVE CASTELLAN –
ROYAL ASHBURN GOLF CLUB
ROYAL ASHBURN OFFERS ADDED
VALUE WITH GOLF PROGRAMS
When it comes to golf,the adage that you are
never too young to learn and never too old to
change seems to be the driving force behind
the array of programs offered at the Royal
Ashburn Golf Club.
Dave Castellan, who returns to the club for
his second year as Director of Instruction, has
put together a wide range of programs for the
upcoming season
that promises to
appeal to everyone,
regardless of age,
gender or level of
play.
“Having come on
board last year
and being a new
face,it was about
getting established
and trying to put together a few programs that
I thought would be interesting and create a
response to get some golfers involved,not only
golf instruction, but training,”says Castellan.
With that in mind,Castellan is building on the
success of his initial year,and adding some
new wrinkles as the game and teaching aides
continue to evolve.
Some of the programs offered at the club this
year will include:
Get Golf Ready –A four-week session
beginning in late-April that will open with
a dryland training component with a fitness
expert that will touch on a wide range of topics
including injury prevention and stretching.The
other sessions will help with techniques and
fundamentals to help get ready for the season.
Learn to Play –A six-week program that
returns from last year that helps provide
individuals new to the game with an
introduction.Eachsession isone hourinlength.
Family Days –Starting in June,Sunday’s will
be the target to celebrate dad, mom or both
sharing some time on the course with the
kids.Entertaining and fun, with some formal
instruction, serve as the foundation for the
program.
Junior Camps –Register early,as the popular
summer camps have sold out in the past.
Etiquette,club utilization,hitting and situational
play are just some of the topics covered. As
well, at the back end of the driving range,
a practice area with a couple of short holes will
be used to help kids learn the game without
being intimidated by the length and trouble that
looms on the first tee of a regulation course.
The Ladies Only program will be back again
starting in May,and a number of specialty
clinics will be held at various times throughout
the year,givinggolfers the flexibilityofchoosing
programs of interest on days and times that fit
their schedule.
As an added value,with some of the programs,
a teaching manual and fitness manual will
be provided to help golfers chart their course
for the season.There are also nine and dine
vouchers,as well as vouchers for the driving
range included.Lessons willalsobevideotaped,
with swing analysis offered.
“When you look at the price, and what they
are getting value-wise,it’s very good,”notes
Castellan of the diversified packages that have
been created.
The Royal Ashburn Golf Club is located at
995 Myrtle Road in Ashburn, and boasts more
than 50 years experience in hosting corporate
and charity golf events. Five sets of tee blocks
ranging in yardage from 4,896 to 7,100 makes
the course appealing to any level of golfer.
Following a round of golf,Butler’s Pub and Grill
is a welcomed destination for a great meal and
beverage in a relaxing atmosphere.
Inadditiontogolf,the facilities at RoyalAshburn
provide a preferred location for weddings and
banquets.

When golfers tee it up this year at Black Diamond Golf Club, they will only get a couple of holes into their round before recognizing the changes the course in Pontypool has under-gone.While the yardage remains the same, and a round of par is still 72, everything else will be different.“The golf course has undergone a complete re-route of the facility,” says general manager Shawn Morey, who is extremely excited for the unveiling.When Morey came on board at the course last April, there were a couple of specific areas that he identified as changes the team wanted to make to produce a better product and envi-ronment.~ “We addressed how to make the course more player-friendly, and we wondered how we could encompass the beauty of the back nine into the golf course earlier and more frequent-ly,” he says. “We looked at the opportunity of blending the front and back nine together, which is exactly what we did.”Holes one, two and 10 have remained in their regular rotation. After that, everything has completely changed.Traditionally, the front nine was a little more wide open, while the back nine required stra-tegic shot making. Now each nine will have a mixture of both. Much of the beauty of the course came in the valley on the back nine, says Morey, which golfers will get to much ear-lier in their round now.“It was a bit of a shame not to see it until you got down to the eleventh hole,” he adds. “You didn’t get a true picture of what the facility had to offer until you were two and a half hours into your game. Now, you’re into the heart of the course by the end of the third hole.”One of the hole changes that Morey particularly likes is that the par-5, ninth hole, will now serve as the finishing hole on the golf course, allowing patrons to sit on the patio of the

FOCUS ON BUSINESS
Pickering
REJUVENATION OF YOUR LAWN Spring is a season of revival, and that spirit of rejuvenation extends to lawns. When the last vestiges
of winter begin to disappear, homeowners can dust off their gardening gloves and start taking steps to revitalize their lawns for the
months ahead.
Look for signs of damage. Winter can be hard on lawns, so it’s
important for homeowners to look for signs of damage before they
begin planning any springtime landscaping projects. Salt damage
can occur in areas that received heavy snowfall over the winter. Salt
trucks used during winter storms often spit salt out onto lawns, so
don’t be surprised if you notice brown spots on your grass, especially
in those areas closest to the road.
Remove debris. A light raking can help remove any debris that
accumulated over the winter. Such debris, which may include fallen
branches and fallen leaves left behind from the nal days of fall, can
prevent lawns from getting the sun and water they need to thrive.
Let the grass grow. Mowing the lawn is a chore that’s reserved
for spring, summer and maybe early fall, but it’s important that
homeowners don’t jump the gun and mow too early after winter. A
patient approach allows the grass to reestablish itself, so let it grow
a little higher than you normally would before the rst cut.
Revitalizing lawns in spring is a priority for many homeowners,
who should always consult landscaping professionals if they feel
uncertain about addressing any damage they discover during their
post-winter lawn inspections.

Ringing endorsement for Firehouse Subs
OSHAWA -- From the outside it looks
like any other restaurant in a strip mall --
Firehouse Subs is anything but ordinary.
The first thing that greets you is a rous-
ing Welcome to Firehouse! And from
there the fast-casual restaurant offers a
memorable dining experience.
Once in the door you feel like you are
in an authentic New York City fire hall.
The walls are red brick with pictures
and paraphernalia paying tribute to the
firefighters who started the restaurant.
Chris and Robin Sorenson opened their
first Firehouse Sub 22 years ago and in
October 2015 launched in Canada with
the Oshawa shop.
It is an order-at-the-counter operation
that creates each sub to specifications
and offers both take-out and dining-in
options.
Once at the counter, you have a choice
of amazing-looking subs and on the day
I visited I had a hand as Robin was help-
ing with orders. There’s nothing like
being served by a real firefighter (even
if he’s retired) and he recommended his
favourite -- the signature hook and lad-
der. No wonder it is the go-to sub for first
timers as it is delicious. It has smoked
turkey breast, Virginia honey ham and
melted Monterey Jack, served ‘Fully
Involved’. What does ‘Fully Involved’
mean? It is loaded with mayo, deli mus-
tard, lettuce, tomato, onion and a kosher
dill pickle on the side. Don’t expect fries
with these sandwiches, as simplicity
rules the day.
Granted, be sure to head on down to
the end of the counter to either take a
seat or better yet, try one of the fantastic
sauces for your sub. I suggest the trade-
mark Firehouse Sub sauce, which I did
and liked it so much I took a bottle home
with me. For the younger crowd, there
is a kids’ meal that comes with a treat,
a fireboat -- who doesn’t love their own
fireboat?

WHAT’S ON
What is an artist? asks Station Gallery CEO
as our Culture Corner column debuts
DURHAM -- Welcome to Culture Corner,
a new weekly column that celebrates
the vibrant cultural community we have
here in Durham Region.
This is the first in a series of pieces fea-
turing contributions from arts and cul-
ture supporters, collaborators and con-
nectors.
On the first day in my new role as CEO
of Station Gallery, I had an interest-
ing conversation with the curator, Olex
Wlasenko. We engaged in a friendly and
spirited debate about what art is. Per-
haps I am naive, but I believe that every-
one is an artist -- or has the potential to
be an artist -- in their own special way.
We discussed it further and both deter-
mined that although not everyone has
training in fine art, everyone has the
potential to be an artist and the potential
to create something.
I believe that deep inside each of us,
we all have art waiting to be expressed.
Whether it’s visual art, dance, music, or
the written word -- we each have a story
to tell.
How can you use your creative gifts to
make a difference in the world? If you’re
not sure, why not explore different possi-
bilities? Try something new that excites
you. Make time to create your unique
art. If you’re up for a challenge, re-invent
your life to include what inspires you.
Having recently re-imagined my career,
I now have the opportunity to focus my
energy on what I am truly passionate
about: art, artists, creativity and com-
munity building. The decision to exe-
cute this transition was not an easy one.
It forced me to take a look at my life and
reconnect with my own personal values
and what truly mattered to me.
One of the best parts of my new job
is that I have started taking some of the
outstanding art courses offered at Sta-
tion Gallery. I’ll admit that it feels scary
to try something new, but I’m sure glad
I did. I was amazed by the beautiful cre-
ations that we made with our own hands
and I am thirsty for more!
You’ve probably heard this quote by
Pablo Picasso, “The purpose of art is
washing the dust of daily life off our
souls.” Too often we get caught up in
the daily grind and neglect to engage
our creative side. But if you’re willing
to explore and try something new, you
might just discover your inner artist.
What do you think? Can we all be art-
ists in our own way? Let me know on
Twitter @kerrikingdurham.
Kerri King is the chief executive officer at
Station Gallery in Whitby.

Protein: How
much is enough?
There is probably no other nutrient
that gets as much attention with athletes
as protein, owing to its role in muscle
growth and repair.
While critical in building muscle mass,
more protein is not always better. Eating
large amounts of protein generally does
not equate with a toned body. When
determining protein requirements for
athletes, it’s important to look at the
overall diet. About 10 to 20 per cent of
an athlete’s total calories should come
from protein, with the remaining calo-
ries coming from carbohydrates and fat.
Protein requirements can also be
determined based on body weight; for
power athletes (strength or speed), aim
for 1.2 to 1.7 grams/kilogram a day.
Endurance athletes should aim for 1.2 to
1.4 grams/kilogram a day. That means a
70kg hockey player should aim for 185-
260 grams of protein/day.
Timing protein intake is also key to
muscle synthesis. Research shows there
is a small spike in muscle synthesis
with 20-25g of protein. Eating protein
in excess of this amount offers no ben-
efit. Spreading protein across the day by
including it in meals and snacks will pro-
duce multiple spikes in muscle protein
synthesis. Eating protein in the hour fol-
lowing exercise can help to prolong the
protein synthesis response to exercise,
helping to promote muscle gains and
minimize muscle breakdown.
Protein is found in foods such as red
meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, nuts, tofu
and legumes. A 100g serving of meat or
chicken provides 25-30gm of protein.
Supplemental protein intake is unnec-
essary for most athletes as long as they
consume a diet including protein, whole
grains and small amounts of fat. Includ-
ing protein-rich foods at each meal and
snack will allow for an even distribution
of protein, over the day and improve
muscle protein synthesis.
Protein supplements tend to provide
very large amounts of protein and few
other nutrients. Healthy alternatives to
protein supplements include home-
made fruit smoothies, fruit and Greek
yogurt, a sandwich with meat and cheese
or nuts and fruit.
If you are unsure how much protein
you need, talk to a registered dietitian.
You can find a dietitian in your area at
dietitians.ca.
Andrea Miller is a consulting registered dietitian
who emphasizes that healthy eating should be
good, nourishing and delicious. Contact her at

A really big show
PICKERING -- Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier,
above, ice dance silver medallists from the 2016
Canadian championships, were the special
guests at the Pickering Skating Club show, Let
The Games Begin. The event at the Pickering
Recreation Complex attracted about 100 club
members of all ages and skill levels, as shown
at right and below. During the show, Linda
Donnelly was honoured for 40 years of ser-
vice to the club, and was presented a plaque
by Pickering mayor Dave Ryan. The club has
established a new annual award in Donnelly’s
name to recognize a STARSkater who has dem-
onstrated excellence and exemplifies athleti-
cism, leadership and sportsmanship.
14-year-old Elizabeth
Archbold excels in U17
division of track nationals
MILTON — Elizabeth ‘Ema’ Archbold may
be the smallest rider in her age group on
the velodrome, but despite her stature she
came up big at the Cycling Canada U17/U19
Track National Championships April 1-3,
winning five medals.
Archbold, a 14-year-old Pickering resi-
dent, was competing in the under-17 divi-
sion against other female athletes from
across Canada who travelled to the Mattamy
National Cycling Centre in Milton for three
days of intense racing on the 250-metre
banked wooden track where the 2015 Pan
Am Games were held.
She won gold in the 3000m team pursuit as
part of the Ontario team, as well as an indi-
vidual gold in the elimination race, where
she used her tactical race acumen to strategi-
cally ‘pick off’ competitors one by one until
she was the last rider remaining.
On top of the two golds, Archbold won sil-
ver in the points race, and bronze in the team
sprint and the scratch race.
She prepared for nationals by training
under the tutelage of, among others, Steve
Bauer, the former Olympian and current
coach at the Milton Mattamy Cycling Cen-
tre.
In addition to twice-weekly sessions on
the track, she also spent multiple hours in
her basement working on leg speed and leg
strength, as well as recovery to prepare her
for the high-level racing.
The successful national championships
came after she surprised many with two
more provincial championship titles on the
track in March, where her win in the match
sprint was very unexpected due to her being
so much smaller and younger than the other
sprinters. She also claimed the provincial
points race title.
Archbold, who races for the Madonna
Wheelers-La Bicicletta cycling team out of
Scarborough-Pickering, will now start to
train and race outdoors for the next several
months, before ramping it up again to return
to the U17 nationals next year.

Dickson’s Printing
wraps up top spot in
Ajax Men’s Basketball
AJAX — The Ajax Men’s Basketball reg-
ular season came to an end last week with
Dickson’s Printing finishing in first place.
Dickson’s capped off a great year with a
closely contested victory over second-place
ESN Packaging, 58-53.
Once again Dickson’s was led by big man
Trevor Bennett with 18 points. Nick Mikos
and Jose Rivas added 14 and 10 respective-
ly.
ESN’s Calvin Smith kept the game within
reach by tallying a game-high 24 and Roger
Young scored an even dozen.
Both Dickson’s and ESN earned a bye in
the first round of the playoffs.
In a preview of the playoffs, third-place
The Right Step solidly defeated a short-
staffed Logical Technical Solutions 51-28.
Claude Whitfield, with 21 points, and Eric
Ellis, with 15, were solid for the winners.
Neil Biggart had six for Logical.
In the night’s final game, North Alliance
Press was impressive with a 65-31 drubbing
of the Top Shelf.
Point guard John Beyaz led the way, scor-
ing a season-high 20 points, and Sherwin
James had 16.
Gregg McGuire was the lone bright spot
for the Shelf with seven points.
Two Pickering players scooped up in OHL draft

PORT PERRY — It may not have been a
desired destination for some of the top pros-
pects, but Port Perry’s Ty Dellandrea is eager
to take his hockey dream to the next level
with the Flint Firebirds.
Dellandrea was chosen fifth overall by the
beleaguered Ontario Hockey League club in
the 2016 draft Saturday, April 9, the highest
a Durham Region player has been selected
in 11 years, and one of 19 locals chosen this
year.
The selection came just three days after
the OHL had suspended Flint owner Rolf
Nilsen for five years, fined him $250,000 and
stripped the club of another high draft pick,
third overall, for violating an agreement
made following a coaching controversy ear-
lier in the season.
But, while rumours suggested some of the
top prospects indicated they would not play
for Flint, Dellandrea said he was ecstatic to
be drafted and thrilled to go anywhere.
“I was very happy,” he said. “Even though
there were some things that happened in the
past year, there are lots of changes in place
and overall I’m just looking forward to the
future.”
Dellandrea is coming off a season of vast
improvement in which he scored at a goal-
a-game pace, putting up 36-21-57 numbers
in 36 games with the Central Ontario Wolves
minor midget AAA team.
Quinn Yule of Uxbridge, a teammate of
Dellandrea’s with the Wolves, was selected in
the fifth round by Ottawa.
Seven of the other 17 Durham Region play-
ers selected in the draft are from Clarington,
although the highest two of those did not
play for the Toros minor midget team.
Bowmanville defenceman Declan
Chisholm and Enniskillen forward Cam-
eron Hillis both went in the second round,
Chisholm from the Don Mills Flyers to the
Peterborough Petes, and Hillis from the York-
Simcoe Express to the Guelph Storm.
Mason Snell (3rd round, North Bay), Liam
Robertson (3rd round, London), Mitchell
Doyle (5th round, Guelph), Riley McCutch-
eon (10th round, Ottawa) and Riley Girard
(15th round, Niagara) all played in Claring-
ton.
Six Whitby Wildcats players were selected:
Christian Clark (7th round, London), Jacob
Roach (8th round, Sudbury), Chad Yetman
(10th round, Erie), Mateo Nicastro (12th
round, Barrie), Sean Blimkie (14th round,
Hamilton) and James Waldron (15th round,
Hamilton).
Two players each from Oshawa and
Pickering were also drafted, including
Oshawa minor midget goalie Tyler Master-
nak in the 11th round to Saginaw.
Pickering’s Ryan Mahabir of Toronto Jr.
Canadiens went in the 12th round to Sud-
bury, Pickering’s Connor Gillanders of
Markham Waxers in the 14th round to North
Bay and Oshawa’s Luke St. John of the York-
Simcoe Express in the 15th round to Peter-
borough.
Dellandrea is the highest Durham Region
player selected in the draft since Burketon’s
Luke Pither went fourth overall to Kingston
in 2005.

Doug Ridley
Sept 14, 1934 - April 17, 2014
In loving memory of a
husband, father, grandfather,
great & great great grandfather
Although we smile and make no fuss,
No one misses him more than us;
And when old times we oft recall,
That's when we miss him most of all.
Wife Dianne,
Children - Wayne (Sandy),
Beth (Jim), Heather (Rob),
Keith (Tracy), Craig (Sandra)
and all his grandchildren
SincereThanks
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,
If so - we saw it there.
Perhaps you donated in memory of Don,
Or performed a kindly deed.
Perhaps you sent some delicious food
To sustain us in our need.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words
That any friends could say,
Perhaps you couldn't be there at all
But just thought of us that day.
As we express our special thanks to you,
We want to say as well,
Your kindness means much more to us
Than any words alone can tell.
From Valerie and the familyOf the late Don Ross
PINKNEY, Patricia - - Our dear mother,
Patricia Aurea Pinkney (Larock) passed away
on Monday, April 11, 2016. She was the
loving and devoted wife of the late Douglas
Rice Pinkney (April 2015). Together they
enjoyed over 65 years of marriage. Her fi ve
children, Wendy (late Andy), Bob (Cathy),
Patsy (Carson), Judy (Noel) and Nancy
(Chris), will miss her love, guidance and
remarkable sense of humour. She was a
proud Nanny to Mark (Ayesha), David (Karli),
Dan (Leanne), Alexa, James, Michael, Sean,
late Patrick, Eric (Steph), Greg (Julie), Craig
(Sasha), Kate, Brian, Jill and Scott. Her
great-grandchildren, Cameron, Kaitlyn and
Keira brought great joy to her life. Mom had a
positive attitude that was an inspiration to all
of us, and even as her health declined, her
favourite expression was "I'm fi ne". A truly
great lady, we will miss her terribly, but she is
with our Dad and we can hear her say "We're
fi ne". Visitation will be held at the McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME (28 Old
Kingston Rd., Ajax 905-428-8488) on
Sunday, April 17 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm. A
Memorial Mass will be celebrated from ST.
ISAAC JOGUES ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH (1148 Finch Ave., Pickering) on
Monday, April 18 at 11:00 am. If desired,
memorial donations may be made to St.
Isaac Jogues Roman Catholic Church.
Love you Mom, Family Forever.

Miracle Method of Picker-
ing has a solution to help
update your kitchen or
bathroom without the high
cost of renovation! “Why
renovate when you can
refinish, in just a few days?”,
says Jeff Hamilton, owner.
Not only is refinishing fast,
but you’ll save up to 50-75%
over the cost of replace-
ment. Since surface refinish-
ing doesn’t require weeks of
messyconstruction,injust2-3
days, your kitchen and bath-
rooms will be beautiful again.
Natural Accents®are avail-
able in a wide array of col-
ours and can be applied on
laminate, fibreglass, acrylic,
Corian®and cultured marble
surfaces. Miracle Method can
give you a high-end look...
without the high-end cost.
“We also refinish cupboard
doors and the transfor-
mation is simply amaz-
ing! We use an HVLP spray
system, NOT a paintbrush,
and the lacquer is the same
that kitchen manufacturers
use.” Compare refinishing
to replacing or re-facing and
you’ll save money.
MiracleMethodisthelargest
surfacerefinishingcompanyin
North America & provides
residential and commer-
cial services. “As a com-
pany, we fix problems at
hotels, schools, senior care
centres,apartmentcomplexes,
universities, colleges. Esti-
mates are always free and we
are ready to help!
