F irst of a two-part series on Jennifer
O’Connell’s new job as a member of Parlia-

the MP, runs in the May 5 edition of the News

OTTAWA -- Her office is larger, her commute
is longer and the politics are on a national
scale, but former Pickering councillor Jenni-
fer O’Connell brings the same energy to her
new job on Parliament Hill in Ottawa that
she did at City Hall in Pickering.

Inspirational Pickering
teen Yusuf Hirji became
an ambassador for the
Terry Fox Foundation
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- In Yusuf Hirji’s 19 years, he
touched more people than most do in a life-
time.
Thousands recently honoured the Pickering
teenager’s life, days after he died of cancer on
April 9.
“It was just so heartwarming to see,” says his
mother, Shyrin Hirji.
At 16, Yusuf was a Pine Ridge Secondary
School student with serious soccer ambitions
when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma,
the bone cancer Terry Fox had.
“As much as it limits you, it inspires you
to do more,” Yusuf told the News Advertis-
er when he first began speaking at Terry Fox
runs, less than three months after his diagno-
sis.
He became an inspiration to the young peo-
ple he spoke to.
“They loved him. They’d always swarm him
at the end,” recalls Ms. Hirji.
He was a poster boy and ambassador for
the Terry Fox Foundation, and his conta-
gious smile graced the walls of thousands of
schools across Canada in 2014.
Yusuf underwent numerous treatments and
surgeries at the Hospital for Sick Children,
and was chosen to test a pilot project, which
enabled him to receive treatment through his
backpack.
His teachers and even the media that cov-
ered Yusuf’s journey won’t forget him.
“The thing that always struck me about him
was his attitude,” says Ron Pietroniro, News
Advertiser photo editor. “He was very posi-
tive. The story was never really about him;
it was about what he was going through and
how he could help someone else. To me,
that’s the mark of a really great human being.”
Yusuf gave strength to his family.
“He was positive right toward the end,” says
Ms. Hirji.
He taught them to live life to the fullest, and
to embrace uncertainty.
“Don’t be scared of the unknown,” Ms. Hirji
says she learned from her son. “Take every-
thing life has to give you and squeeze every-
thing out of it.”
After believing he had overcome it, Yusuf
learned the cancer had returned last summer
and it couldn’t be cured. He chose to forego
more chemotherapy.
“I picked quality, whereas the stuff that I’m
doing, every second I enjoy, and that’s all that
matters,” Yusuf said at the time.
Yusuf’s ‘dreams list’ became a reality
through an online campaign.
“We did everything,” says his mother. “We
drove down Highway 1 in a red Mustang. He
went skydiving. We went to Manchester. We
watched a Liverpool game and Manchester
won.”
In January, Yusuf asked his friends to send
along their favourite memory of him.
“We’d go through them and he’d laugh,”
says his mother.
Yusuf stayed positive even when he became
bedridden in his last months.
“He never complained, never said ‘Why
me?’” says Ms. Hirji. “But he would ask for
things that would break my heart.”
He once asked her for a flower. When she
asked him why, he said he wanted to remem-
ber what outside looked like.
Following an Ismaili funeral on April 14,
Yusuf’s final wish was met: a celebration of
life, which included a Slurpee machine and
a candy table. “He didn’t want anybody to be
sad,” says Ms. Hirji. “He wanted everybody to
remember the good times.”
A zest for life, despite cancer
Metroland file photo
PICKERING — Yusuf Hirji, 19, died of cancer April 9. The Pickering teenager was first
diagnosed with the same bone cancer that Terry Fox had in 2012, when he was 16.
He didn’t want anybody
to be sad. He wanted
everybody to remember the
good times.
-- Shyrin Hirji,
Yusuf Hirji’s mother

PICKERING -- Pickering Fire Services is
once again teaming up with fire depart-
ments across Durham for the Get Real Dur-
ham! spring fire education campaign.
The three-week campaign, starting on
April 25, focuses on educating residents
about fire safety, and fire-related problems
in their communities.
During the campaign, select Pickering
households will receive an automated tele-
phone message from Pickering Fire Chief
John Hagg, educating residents on how to
protect their family from fire. Additional
households will receive an information card
in the mail and a visit from Pickering fire-
fighters, going door-to-door educating resi-
dents on the reality of fires in the communi-
ty.
“The Get Real Durham campaign has been
very successful in educating our residents
on fire safety issues in the community,” said
Chief Hagg. “It is an excellent opportunity
for our firefighters to interact with our resi-
dents and answer any questions they have
regarding fire safety and prevention.”
Visit www.facebook.com/CityOfPicker-
ing throughout the campaign for daily fire
statistics and tips. Get more information on
fire safety at www.pickering.ca/GetRealDur-
ham .

Food banks in Durham Region have
traditionally gotten the most support
and donations at Christmas time and, of
course, at Thanksgiving. But, it’s at this
time of year when the shelves are at an
extremely low ebb.
The rising cost of food -- along with just
about everything else -- is pushing many
Durham families closer to the edge of food
insecurity. And that’s where food banks are
trying mightily to pick up the slack and fill
that gap that is ever widening. Food banks
need help with donations, both mone-
tary and with food, especially through the
spring and summer months.
“There’s just less donations that come
in this time of year,” said Marni Lewis, the
coordinator of the Clarington East Food
Bank.
During the month of May, food banks
across Durham Region, including Feed
the Need Durham and the Clarington East
Food Bank, are participating in Food Bank
Canada’s ‘Every Plate Full’ spring cam-
paign, designed to ensure there is ade-
quate supply of food to meet the burgeon-
ing demands felt by food banks in Durham
and beyond.
“We want to participate with Food Banks
Canada’s spring campaign because the
need is year round,” said Ben Earle, the
executive director of Feed the Need Dur-
ham. “Our shelves start to get bare this
time of year.”
Mr. Earle recently attended a meeting
of Clarington council where he explained
the importance of the campaign. He noted
there were 17,000 visits to food banks
between January and March of 2016 in the
region. Thirty-five per cent of those who
visited were families with children.
“We’re also seeing more college and uni-
versity students,” noted Mr. Earle.
In Canada, more than 900,000 Canadi-
ans will use a food bank this summer. And,
a startling 37 per cent of those people are
children.
Whatever you have in your cupboard
that you can spare would be appreciated,
said Ms. Lewis.
“As long as expiry dates are good, we’ll
take what you have.”
So, if you plan to donate to the food
banks in Durham, please do it now. Indi-
viduals and families in need in the region
can’t wait until Christmas or Thanksgiving
rolls around. The help is needed in Dur-
ham now.
“People go on vacation in the summer
and they seem to take a vacation from
donating as well,” said Dorathy Glass, the
communications consultant for the Clar-
ington East Food Bank.
The ‘Every Plate Full’ is going on locally
and across Canada from May 1 to 31. Peo-
ple are encouraged to go online (every-
platefull.ca) and donate money, or head
to the nearest food bank and drop off food
donations.
With Durham food banks facing a short-
age this summer, every little bit counts.
Let’s all do our part.

Building something amazing
at Durham College
column
As president of Durham Col-
lege, I’m very proud of our
institution and the important
role we play in students’ lives
and in Durham Region. I believe that all
days are good days at DC, and we have
many great days as well. But once in a
while, a truly awesome day comes along
- last Tuesday was one of those days!
If you haven’t heard the news, let
me be first to share that on April 19
we proudly announced a $22-million
investment in the college by the pro-
vincial government to replace the aging
Simcoe building at our Oshawa campus
with the new Centre for Collaborative
Education.
This funding is the result of months of
hard work with our government part-
ners to develop a legacy project that
would make sense for our students, our
community and our province, and allow
us to bridge between our past and our
future.
After all, the Simcoe building is part
of the college’s rich history, symboliz-
ing almost five decades of teaching and
learning. When the college first opened
in 1967, we operated out of 14 portables
before the Simcoe building was com-
missioned that same year. In 1968, our
second year of operation, the north half
of the building was built, followed by
the south half in 1969.
John Mather, one of DC’s first alumni
who graduated in 1969 from the busi-
ness/data processing program, put it
best when he said “the Simcoe build-
ing has had more changes in layout and
use than all of the other campus build-
ings combined. Over the course of time
walls went up and came down, the roof
was repaired, paint was applied and the
building was made bigger.”
Whatever we needed at any given
time, the Simcoe building would
accommodate. But, like all good things,
its time has come to an end. As we pre-
pare to celebrate our 50th anniversary
in 2017, we will close one chapter and
begin another as we embark upon a
dynamic and collaborative new vision
–- the CFCE.
As DC continues our evolution and
transformation of programs and servic-
es to support new ideas in teaching and
learning, our physical infrastructure
must also adapt, and this unique, three-
storey educational hub is all about
building possibilities and helping stu-
dents realize their full potential.
Final plans for the building are now
underway, including the launch of a
capital campaign that will engage our
community in the planning process.
After all, for almost 50 years, DC has
been Durham’s college, and it has made
all the difference in our collective eco-
nomic and social well-being. I hope you
will join us because we are truly build-
ing something amazing.
-- Don Lovisa is president of Durham College,
where the student experience comes first.

“Things have been going really well,” the 33-year-old rookie
MP says from her office, between meetings on an April morn-
ing. “It’s been busy.”
The former Ward 1 regional councillor defeated Conserva-
tive incumbent Corneliu Chisu in the 2015 federal election to
claim a seat for the Liberal Party in the newly-formed Picker-
ing-Uxbridge riding.
After a tearful goodbye to council at City Hall in October, she
packed her bags and moved into her office on Sparks Street in
Ottawa to represent the community at the federal level.
She tends to national matters in Ottawa, which includes a
busy schedule on the finance committee, a duty she’s happy
to have as it often addresses matters she feels strongly about,
taxes and infrastructure.
“If we invest in infrastructure, that means it’s lower property
taxes for Pickering-Uxbridge,” she says. “I think that’s what’s
really critical for both places.”
But she also comes home regularly to address constituency
matters.
“I think the back and forth is probably the most challeng-
ing,” she says.
She has an apartment in Ottawa but maintains her home in
Pickering, as she splits her time between the two cities.
As much time as she spends in Ottawa, she rarely gets to
enjoy the city, with little time between work and sleep.
“I need sleep,” she says. “I need about seven hours or else
I’m not doing too well.”
But her long days and ever-changing schedule don’t always
allow it.
“The days change on a regular basis,” she says. “That is very
different from council.”
However, the adrenaline of the day and the fast-paced envi-
ronment on Parliament Hill gives her the energy she needs to
push on.
“It’s still extremely exciting, although it’s been exhausting,”
she says. “It keeps me going.”
She credits her dedicated staff, executive assistant Court-
ney May and legislative assistant Musa Mansuar, with helping
her successfully juggle a busy schedule and stay on top of the
items that come across her desk.
Mr. Mansuar, a Pickering resident with a degree in political
science from the University of Guelph, volunteered on Ms.
O’Connell’s election campaign and was offered a full-time job
after she won.
“It’s been a lot of fun,” he says. “I’ve always been interested
in this stuff. The novelty still hasn’t worn off, to be able to walk
into Parliament. It’s something I’ve watched on TV growing
up.”
Working on the same team as Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau, Ms. O’Connell says he’s open and transparent in his
role. “We’re all very encouraged to speak our minds in cau-
cus,” she says.
She calls his staff a great resource, and feels she’s part of one
big team.
Gardening workshop
Thursday at Petticoat Creek
Community Centre
PICKERING -- Pickering residents can help in small ways to
benefit the environment this month, and even learn a few
things to help themselves.
Any time from Friday, April 22 to Friday, April 29, residents
are invited to participate in a 20-minute makeover. Schools,
families, community groups, corporate partners and City
employees can commit to giving a section of the commu-
nity a makeover by picking up litter for at least 20 minutes.
Free supplies are provided.
Also, the Gardening Vegetables and Saving Money work-
shop will take place on Thursday, April 28 from 7 to 9 p.m.
at the Petticoat Creek Community Centre, 470 Kingston Rd.,
Pickering. Local expert Ken Brown will share innovative,
simple and inexpensive ways to help residents learn to grow
vegetables in their backyard, apartment or condo, in order
to eat healthy and save money. Registration is not required
but recommended.
To register for either event, call 905-683-7575.

DURHAM -- The Ontario government is
investing $384,062 in Durham Region as it
continues to push a climate change strategy.
The Province is spending $10 million
across the province in an effort to improve
electrical efficiency to reduce costs and
generate jobs. The program is expected to
improve electrical efficiency in 950 social
housing units across Ontario. Renovations
will include installing energy-efficient heat-
ing systems, appliances, lighting, windows
and insulation.
“This initiative brings needed upgrades to
older, energy-inefficient homes to reduce
energy costs and better serve tenants, while
helping Ontario meet the climate challenges
of today and tomorrow,” said Ted McMeekin,
minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Durham Region will select local proj-
ects to receive the funding through a
competitive process.

strategy, visit: www.ontario.ca/page/cli-
mate-change/

FOCUS ON HEALTH
FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE
By Liz Campbell
DURHAM -- Feeling tired, sad, upset, cold,
in need of a lift? In much of the world the
answer is a cup of tea – the universal pana-
cea for all ills.
“Tea is healthy. It is totally natural, and
because it contains anti-oxidant flavenoids,
it fights free radicals in the body. So tea is
good for you,” says Louise Roberge, presi-
dent of the Tea Association of Canada, enu-
merating tea’s virtues. “It has less caffeine
than coffee, it tastes good, and (without
additions) has no calories.”
Black, green and oolong tea all come
from the same plant – Camelia sinensis.
The leaves of black tea have been withered
in the air so the leaves are completely oxi-
dized.
For green tea, the leaves are steamed to
prevent oxidation so they become bright
green.
Oolong is between black and green, with a
shorter oxidation time than black tea.
Many consumers assume green tea is caf-
feine free. It’s not. It contains 24-45 mg per
8-oz cup while black tea has 14-70 mg of
caffeine. On the other hand, brewed coffee
has a whopping 95-200 mg per cup.
More significantly, tea is the perfect pick-
me-up because the caffeine in tea is pro-
cessed more slowly. It doesn’t give you the
quick high of coffee, but because it lasts
longer, it also doesn’t have the same rapid
drop, leaving you feeling tired and in need
of another fix.
Think of tea as the new wine. Serious tea
connoisseurs will taste teas the way oeno-
philes taste wine, with much sniffing and
slurping. Single estate teas are prized.
Descriptives like astringency, balance, cit-
rusy, smoky, bright, complex, flowery and
even finish are tossed around like confetti.
As with wine, tea can be used in cooking.
Shabnam Weber, owner of The Tea Empo-
rium and creator of the Tea Sommelier pro-
gram for the Tea Council of Canada, says tea
can be used to flavour broths.
“Tea is flavoured water, so infusing jas-
mine tea into the broth when poaching
chicken or shellfish adds a beautiful fla-
vour,” Weber explains. “And that broth
makes a wonderful stock for soups.”
Reducing a tea-infused stock to make a
sauce can produce a unique flavour profile,
she adds.
Tea leaves - especially lapsang souchong –
can add a whole new dimension to barbe-
cued and smoked meats. Instead of apple-
wood chips, she suggests, try adding tea
leaves to the coals.
And finally, finely ground tea leaves with
complementary spices make a delicious rub
for meats. She suggests jasmine with lemon
grass and salt; or lapsang souchong and chi-
potle peppers. Earl Grey tea really enhances
the flavour of roasts.
Infusing warm cream or milk with tea
before using it to prepare puddings or
crême brulée adds a whole new dimension.
“Tea can replace any liquid in a recipe to
enhance the flavour,” says Weber.
On the BBC website and the Food Net-
work, famous chefs offer recipes for dishes
prepared using tea. Here’s one from Shab-
nam.
Jasmine cured Gravad Lax
(Jasmine tea replaces the usual dill)
500 gr. Salmon filet (center cut, skin on)
300 gr. coarse sea salt
150 gr. sugar
1 tbs. Jasmine Dragon Tears or other high
grade jasmine tea
1 tbs. olive oil
fresh ground pepper
Mix the sugar and salt. Pulverize the Drag-
on Tears in a spice grinder.
Rub the salmon with the olive oil and tea.
Season with fresh pepper.
Cover the bottom of a rectangular con-
tainer with 1 cm. of the salt/sugar mixture.
Set the salmon on top and cover with the
rest of the mixture.
Cover with saran wrap and weigh down
with tins or jam jars.
Let this cure for 36 hours in the refrigera-
tor. Remove the salmon and clean off salt
and sugar.
Thinly slice the Jasmine cured Lax and
serve with dark rye bread, a lemon wedge
and honey mustard.
Masala Chai Tea
This classic Indian spiced tea has a won-
derful scented flavour.
350 ml/12 fl oz water
100 ml/3½fl oz milk
4 black peppercorns
10 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
good pinch green fennel seeds
small piece cinnamon stick
1 tsp. fresh ginger, peeled and roughly
sliced
1 black tea bag
sugar, to taste
salt, to taste (optional)
Heat the water and milk in a pan with the
spices and ginger until it comes to the boil.
Turn the heat down and cook over a low to
medium heat for 15 minutes. Be careful as
the milk can easily rise and boil over.
Once the volume is reduced to a large
cupful, add the tea bag and let it brew for
one minute, or longer if you like strong tea.
To serve, strain into two cups and add sugar
to taste.

Why and when you
should clean your hands
Hand hygiene plays an essential role in
maintaining health and in stopping the
spread of potentially harmful germs to oth-
ers.
Look down at your hands; do they look
clean to you? Probably. Now take a moment
and think about the last thing you touched,
or better yet, what were all the things, peo-
ple and places that you have touched since
the last time that you cleaned your hands?
Now, do you still think of your hands the
same way?
As an infection control professional at Lak-
eridge Health, a big part of my job is teach-
ing other people how to prevent and control
germs from causing harm. Hand hygiene is
on the top of our list. It is simple and easy to
do. We teach others when their hands need
to be cleaned. These are the moments that
count.
Not all germs are harmful --- but they
can become so when they go where they
shouldn’t be. I think of our hands as a vehi-
cle that can spread germs to new places.
We can stop this spread of germs by simply
cleaning our hands at the right moments.
As a rule of thumb, you should clean your
hands:
• Before you prepare food;
• Before you eat;
• Before touching your eyes, your nose or
mouth;
• And before you touch a cut or an open
wound.
There are also some activities where you
should clean your hands immediately after-
wards, such as:
• After you use the washroom or assisting
someone with toileting;
• After you sneeze, blow your nose or
cough;
• And after you handle garbage.
In the hospital, we also clean our hands
at specific moments to make sure that the
people who come to us receive clean, safe
care. These moments include the activi-
ties already listed, but also during specific
health-care actions; for example, before we
provide direct care to a patient. We do this
by cleaning our hands with alcohol-based
hand rub, which is quick and highly effec-
tive, or by using soap and water when our
hands are visibly dirty.
We also keep our patients safe from poten-
tially harmful germs by teaching others --
our patients, their family members and visi-
tors -- about hand hygiene. We all have a
role to play in keeping ourselves -- and our
environments -- safe and clean.
On May 5, Lakeridge Health is joining a
hand hygiene relay as part of a World Health
Organization call to action. You don’t have
to be at the hospital to participate. Take a
moment to talk with your family about the
importance of clean hands for your health,
and the health of the people around you.
-- Janessa McGuire, is an infection control
professional at Lakeridge Health

DURHAM -- Janessa McGuire from
Lakeridge Health says she thinks of our
hands “as a vehicle that can spread
germs to new places.”
A big part of my job is teaching other people how to prevent
and control germs from causing harm.
