Initial reports suggested the man, who was found with serious injuries on Dilling- ham Road at about 2:30 a.m. Sept. 14, may have been struck by a vehicle, but that’s not likely the case, Durham police said. Witnesses said the victim was involved in an argument with a number of men after leaving a bar in the area. The man was assaulted as he walked on Dillingham and left unconscious, police said. As people came to assist the vic- tim, a dark vehicle was driven toward them, police said. The car then left the scene. One suspect is described as a black man with glasses who wore a T-shirt. The vehi- cle was black or dark-coloured, police said. An investigation continues and police are trying to retrieve surveillance video from the area. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2529 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Former Pickering councillor Peter Rodrigues, charged after parking his flashy van outside city hall prior to the 2014 municipal election, has been found not guilty of contravening the City’s sign bylaw. Rodrigues said the verdict was delivered in provincial offences court Tuesday. Sept. 13. His trial occurred in January. “I was found absolutely not guilty,” said Rodrigues, who was slapped with 16 charg- es by the City’s bylaw department. “It’s clear and obvious I was not guilty, and I never should have been charged.” Rodrigues has maintained since the start that his van -- it sported a bright yellow wrap with his image and a picture of the city hall clock tower -- was not an election sign, and did not contravene Pickering’s sign bylaw. Former Pickering councillor not guilty Court says Peter Rodrigues didn’t contravene City’s sign bylaw during 2014 election Metroland file photo PICKERING -- Former Pickering Councillor Peter Rodrigues was found not guilty in a provincial offences court of contravening the City’s sign bylaw during the 2014 municipal election.

Oshawa plant will be the only north american GM facility to build both cars and trucks BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- There’s a palpable sigh of relief among GM Oshawa workers after Unifor and GM Canada reached a deal that not only averted a strike, but secured the future of the Oshawa plant beyond 2019. “There were a lot of people watching late last night to see the result,” said Joel Smith, a union organizer with Unifor Local 222 on Tuesday, Sept. 20. “I think there’s a sigh of relief that there’s going to be a future for our facility here.” The deal was announced early Tuesday morning just minutes after a midnight strike deadline. Unifor national president Jerry Dias didn’t name a specific product but said Oshawa will be the first and only facility in North America to be able to build both cars and trucks. “The commitment to Oshawa is hundreds of millions of dollars, therefore our fear of a closure in 2019 is now over,” said Dias. “The facility clearly has a bright future.” In a statement e-mailed to media, GM offi- cials said they will be working with the gov- ernment on potential support and further details on the investment will be provided at the appropriate time. “The agreement will enable significant new product, technology and process investments at GM’s Oshawa, St. Catharines and Wood- stock facilities, placing those operations at the forefront of advanced manufacturing flex- ibility, innovation and environmental stain- ability,” said the company through corporate communications manager Jennifer Wright. Smith said the bargaining team was still wrapping up negotiations and he expects details of the deal to be rolled out to union leadership later in the week with the deal presented to members before a ratification vote on Sunday. Going into bargaining, union officials had said negotiations would hinge on the future of Oshawa and St. Catharines being secured and there was a great deal of speculation that the company was preparing to close the Oshawa plant. “They’ve been writing our obituary for years now,” said Smith. “I think we’ve all had a wonder as to whether it would be true or not and I’m glad to see that’s not going to be the case. We’ve been there right from the start of the company and it’s good that we’ll be con- tinuing on into the future with some hope for some new workers.” Dias said that even with the scheduled clo- sure of the consolidated plant in Oshawa, the flex plant will have more jobs than in the pre- vious collective agreement though he did not cite specific numbers. New hires will be moving to a direct contri- bution pension, which Dias listed as the only negative. He said there will be a wage increase and that new hires will start at a higher sala- ry and there will also be a signing bonus. As well, 700 temporary workers will become per- manent full-time, including roughly 400 in Oshawa. Coming off her shift on Tuesday, Cindy Boivin said of reaching an agreement, “I’m definitely pleased about it.” As for the mood in the plant, Boivin said, “I think it’s upbeat. There’s a lot of questions. We’re meeting on Sunday and we’ll know what’s in it. Les Torgyik, who has 33 years at GM, said, “We’ll remain in Oshawa passed ’19.” The mood on Tuesday was “good, calm and mellow. Positive.” Oshawa Mayor John Henry said it was an exciting day for city. “The first thing that happened this morn- ing is my brother called me from the plant to say he was at work and he was happy,” said the mayor, adding he has two brothers who work in the plant. “Oshawa is the story in Canada today,” said the mayor. “It’s about advanced manufacturing in a community that makes great product, it’s about invest- ment and Oshawa is open for business.” The mayor added that he believes any investment from the federal and provin- cial government in the Oshawa plant will be repaid in “leaps and bounds” through tax rev- enues. Smith thanked the community for its sup- port. “We started our GM Oshawa Matters campaign prior to the summer and we’ve received tremendous support from across the province and the country, but particularly from our home community ... it’s meant a lot, we’re a part of this community and it’s nice to feel supported in the community.” Relief for Oshawa GM workers as deal avoids strike, secures new product for plant Ron Pietroniro / Metroland DURHAM -- GM workers demonstrated on the Albert Street overpass in Oshawa on Sept. 19. A strike was averted as a tentative deal was announced Tuesday between GM and Unifor, the union representing auto workers. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 3 AP ***cleaver As low as Commission1% * NEW CHOICE REALTY LTD BROkERAgE Independently Owned and Operated www.MincomRealty.ca 905-428-4557FREE Home Market Evaluation *Limited Time Offer *Terms & Conditions Apply TRUE STORY…..

Council had voted in March to take two councillors away from Oshawa and give one to Ajax and another to Whitby. If granted final approval, Oshawa will go from eight to six Regional councillors, Ajax from three to four, and Whitby from four to five. Regional coun- cil will remain the same size -- 28 councillors and a chairman. In May 2015, a committee was developed to study council’s composition. It held eight public meetings and hosted three public information sessions before making its rec- ommendations. “This process allows us to ensure our urban and rural communities are treated equally; a direct reflection of Regional council’s man- date to be fair, effective and responsive,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson. “Dur- ham Region is growing and evolving. This electoral process reflects our progressive community and demonstrates our desire for transparency.” Committee representatives included Chairman Anderson; one Regional coun- cillor from each area municipality and indi- viduals from local chambers of commerce, boards of trade and post-secondary institu- tions. Oshawa Mayor John Henry remains opposed to the changes. “I won’t support it,” he said before the Sept. 14 vote, adding only 211 people gave their input on the matter. Oshawa Councillor Bob Chapman, howev- er, agreed with the changes. “I think the process was good ... It was thor- ough,” he said. He said Oshawa losing councillors is no surprise, and has been a topic of discussion for years. “This just didn’t pop up this year,” he said. Now that the bylaw has been approved by council, it will be sent to the area munici- palities. It must be approved by a majority of lower-tier municipalities -- representing a majority of electors in Durham -- before it comes into effect. If the triple majority is met, the bylaw will come into effect for the 2018 municipal elections.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 column The Region of Durham has taken anoth- er step in the right direction when it comes to revamping the composition of its coun- cillors. Last week council passed a bylaw to change its composition taking two region- al councillors away from Oshawa and giv- ing Ajax and Whitby one more each start- ing at the next municipal election in 2018. If granted final approval, Oshawa will go from eight to six Regional councillors, Ajax from three to four, and Whitby from four to five. Regional council will remain the same size -- 28 councillors and a chairman. Oshawa currently has the largest num- ber of sitting regional councillors with eight. They each represent about 18,000 residents. In contrast, Ajax has three regional councillors, including the mayor, who each represent 41,000 residents. The representation may have made sense years ago when Oshawa was by far the biggest municipality in Durham. But as time has marched on, more and more people have moved to Durham and they are living in areas such as Ajax and Whitby. Ajax’s pop- ulation now sits at about 120,000, Whitby has about 132,000 while Oshawa has 159,000 residents. The redistribution of seats therefore makes sense. It was disappointing not every councillor agreed. Oshawa Mayor John Henry and Councillor Dan Carter both opposed the change. Councillor Carter said municipal politi- cians have the most regular contact with residents of any elected political represen- tative. “I cannot support us losing two seats because residents need us,” he said. We would agree that residents do need regional council representation which is precisely why these changes have been proposed. Residents in Ajax and Whitby need regional councillors just as badly as Oshawa but have gone without as their populations have grown. One only has to see the big picture and not the myopic one to realize this proposed change is the cor- rect course of action. Yes Oshawa could lose two regional representatives but it would still have more than its neighbour- ing municipalities. These changes have been studied and discussed with the public. In May 2015, a committee was developed to study coun- cil’s composition. It held eight public meetings and hosted three public infor- mation sessions before making its recom- mendations. “This process allows us to ensure our urban and rural communi- ties are treated equally; a direct reflection of Regional council’s mandate to be fair, effective and responsive,” said Region- al Chairman Roger Anderson. “Durham Region is growing and evolving. This elec- toral process reflects our progressive com- munity and demonstrates our desire for transparency.” Now that the bylaw has been approved by council, it has to be approved by a majority of lower-tier municipalities -- rep- resenting a majority of electors in Durham -- before it comes into effect. If the triple majority is met, the bylaw will come into effect for the 2018 municipal elections. We hope for the sake of fairness munici- palities all vote in favour of these Regional council changes. They’re long overdue. Regional council composition changes deserve to be passed Strong education key to finding your fortune How prophetic is Forrest Gump’s line about life and a box of chocolates for most of us? In the 1960s, female role models were portrayed on television as happy home- makers who sent our kids off to school and spent a rewarding day with Elec- trolux, Pledge and Ajax The Foaming Cleanser. A college or university education was not in the mix for many of us searching for that white picket fence. I got mar- ried shortly after high school and set my sights on a career that would rival the women of Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best. As it turned out, hunting dust bunnies under the bed and sporting flowered aprons as my fashion of choice were not as satisfying as one might think. So after giving birth to my first child, I charted a different course. I was intrigued by a career in nurs- ing. Durham College was an attractive choice and the bonus was it was close by. I could get there in my Volkswa- gen Rabbit in under 10 minutes, attend classes and be home in plenty of time to pick up my son from daycare. My classes were housed in what they thought was a “temporary” building but, like taxes, it is still standing today. This was B.C. (before computers) so our quarters were furnished with a library that had these things called books, a cafeteria with hot meals that too often included French fries on my tray, class- rooms and a lab. The health sciences lab featured four hospital beds with lifelike mannequins. After we became more proficient in pro- cedures, we would practise on nervous “volunteer” fellow students. The rela- tionship between students and teach- ing staff was remarkably close. So much so, that when there was a province-wide strike, we boarded buses and headed to Queen’s Park to support our instruc- tors. The disruption only lasted a few weeks and we were back to the probing and prodding. An atmosphere of ener- gy and anticipation enveloped the bud- ding campus. We were all getting ready to blossom. After graduation I started work as a pharmacy tech. That was interrupted by the second of four children and I began using my nursing training on my own brood. But as Forrest philosophized, we never know what we’re going to get. Eleven years later when it was time to return to the workforce, it was also time for new challenges. Armed with a good educational base and a sense of self- confidence from Durham College, I explored interests in politics and man- agement. I am sure thousands of other DC grads took unexpected turns on their jour- neys, too. BTW, that “temporary” build- ing is about to be demolished with a new build in its place. Fifty years strong, Durham College is also growing and changing. -- Nancy M.

Criminal reference checks don’t cover everything about a person’s past transgressions To the editor: Re: ‘Criminal checks for seniors are a bad idea’, editorial, Sept. 15 The part missing in this conversation is that a Police Criminal Reference Check only covers the past five-year period. There is much it doesn’t include such as any reference to past mental health con- tact (www.drps.ca). Just how bad could an octogenarian have been in his past five years? But, the check won’t be considered a barrier to entry. What foolish nonsense! The Town of Ajax passed a bylaw (unanimously) requiring me, as a land- lord, to submit an annual police record check, submit a list of all renters and their cars and licence plate numbers, and allow Town authorities and police entry into my private residences on demand. (BL# 115-2013). What foolish nonsense. How do the Region and the Town get away with such tactics? Royce Baker Landlord of properties in Ajax and Pickering Perhaps impounding vehicles will drive home the distracted driving message To the editor: Re: ‘Harsher penalty needed to discourage distracted driving’, editorial, Oshawa This Week, Aug. 25 I thought that by raising the fine and the demerit points a person would get upon their conviction for distracted driving, that people would begin to get the message. Clearly they have not. In one weekend the police laid charges of distracted driving to 75 people. I do not have anything miraculous that would stop people from distracted driving. I thought they would get the message but they clear- ly don’t! Maybe if the police were empow- ered to have the vehicle immediately impounded and the person’s driving privi- leges revoked for 30 days then just maybe people would begin to get the message. This will take some time for the public in general to stop distracted driving but, in the meantime, there must be consequenc- es and they must be harsh for the general public to finally get the message that dis- tracted driving is really against the law. It took a number of years and many, many fines later for the general public to finally get the message that they must buckle up before they start their journey. This country may have a lot of people who ignore the laws until they come up and bite you in the rump. But, eventually, they will and do get the message. Unfortunately, some people will have to die before something is finally done. NIMBY is the only thing that comes to mind. Ron Horner, Oshawa Whose interest being served by Durham hospital merger? To the editor: Re ‘Ajax-Pickering Lakeridge Health Merger’, Oshawa This Week, Aug. 18, 2016 It is certainly difficult to find a good investment in this time of record-high real estate prices and record-low inter- est rates. Stock markets are excelling as investors seek out reasonable returns on their investments. Speculation is ram- pant. But, to propose investing $18.8 million to achieve an annual return of $300,000 seems to me to be financial folly. If this proposal was to work out, the return on investment would only be about 1.59 per cent; almost enough to pay just one administrator’s one-year salary and perks! It is my observation that typically when people in positions of authority are spending other people’s money, they can almost be relied on to under-esti- mate costs, over-estimate benefits and pay bonuses to select people for doing what they were hired to do in the first place. And they have myriad excuses for dismissing being over-budget. Without obtaining cost/benefit enforceable guarantees from those in authority, this proposal is too specula- tive and causes me to wonder, whose interest is really being served.

The Scugog Island First Nation and Ontar- io Lottery and Gaming Corporation official- ly signed a deal on Sept. 15 that marked the Great Blue Heron Casino’s shift to a com- mercial gambling centre. The MSIFN had been in negotiations with OLG officials since late 2013 after the Prov- ince announced it would be rolling out a new modernization strategy for gambling facilities in Ontario. After initially balking at the effort, fearing additional casinos would saturate the mar- ket and “cannibalize” local revenues, the MSIFN finalized a deal with the OLG in July that saw the Great Blue Heron change its gaming model, effective Sept. 8. However, the Scugog Island First Nation will remain committed to supporting the surrounding communities, stressed Kelly LaRocca, chief of the MSIFN. “Charitable giving will continue. A lot of people in the township and region and charitable organizations are justifiably con- cerned about what this will mean. Our com- munity is committed to charitable giving,” pledged Chief LaRocca. “We’re committed in our role of supporting north Durham and beyond.” Through the Baagwating Community Association, the charitable arm of the Great Blue Heron casino, the Scugog Island First Nation has donated more than $13.5 million to various causes since the Island Road gam- ing hall opened almost two decades ago. At last week’s ceremony, the Scugog Island First Nation made good on that pledge by handing out $530,000 to four regional orga- nizations: The Cancer Recovery Foundation of Canada, Grandview Children’s Hospital, the Scugog Lake Stewards and Port Perry Hospital. A Scugog Island First Nation charita- ble donations committee will replace the Baagwating Community Association, which had been the charitable arm of the casino. “As a council, we are so proud of the BCA’s hard work and dedication,” said Chief LaRocca in a statement. “Since the incep- tion of GBH, the MSIFN, through the BCA, has supported worthwhile causes. MSIFN donations will continue to be under the dis- cretion of the First Nation as the GBH moves into this new phase for gaming. MSIFN will continue to give back to the community in which we live. We will continue to help those who need help.” Gary Edgar, chairman of the BCA, explained his committee has worked to identify “the most deserving groups in and around the region” to support. “We have been fortunate to have the abil- ity to make donations that promote lasting change in our community and we intend on continuing this work as we look to form a new donation committee here at MSIFN,” he added in a statement. As part of the new deal signed with OLG, the MSIFN will eventually have “less of an oversight function” at the casino, said Chief LaRocca, as the Province moves forward with its modernization plan. As of Sept. 8, the Scugog Island casino fell under the new GTA gaming bundle that includes casinos in Ajax and Woodbine. It’s expected that some time in 2018, a “service provider” selected by OLG through a bid- ding process will eventually oversee opera- tions at the three casinos in that bundle. Historically, the Great Blue Heron has been a hybrid casino, with OLG conduct- ing and managing the slot machine side of the business while the MSIFN operated the table games in partnership with Casinos Austria. The new GTA gaming bundle that will include the Scugog Island casino will be one of eight new bundles, or zones, created by the Province as Ontario looks to update its gaming system. Scugog Island First Nation marks casino signing celebration by handing out more than $500,000 Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland PORT PERRY -- The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation held a ceremonial signing with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and appreciation reception for the Baagwating Community Association on Sept. 15. The revenue-sharing agree- ments finalize the Great Blue Heron Casino’s transition to a commercial casino and inclusion in the GTA Bundle for OLG’s gaming modernization. Chief Kelly LaRocca, (left), Stephen Rigby, OLG president and CEO, and Gary Edgar, BCA chairman sign the agreement. DURHAM -- If you’ve decided you don’t want that black-and-white TV, the Region will take it off your hands. The Durham works department is holding a free electrical and electronic equipment waste drop-off this weekend in Oshawa. Examples of electronic waste include cellphones, audio and video players, VCRs and DVD players, stereos and receivers, computer peripherals, printing devices, televisions, personal digital assistants and pagers, cameras and radios, telephones, desktop computers, monitors, camcorders and portable computers. Residents should erase personal information from hard drives and SIM cards before taking their electronics for recycling. The aim is to keep toxic materials out of the waste stream. The event is being held on Saturday, Sept. 24, from 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine, at Lakeview Park parking lot on Kluane Ave- nue, Oshawa. Residents are encouraged to take non- perishable food items, to be donated to a local food bank.

The van became an issue in the months leading up to the 2014 election. During the trial, City clerk Debbie Shields said she received complaints about the vehi- cle being parked outside city hall, and asked Rodrigues to park the van in his assigned spot in an underground lot. Rodrigues refused; in September 2014, a few weeks before the election, he was charged. Rodrigues went on to lose in the elec- tion. He was unsuccessful in a subse- quent byelection bid in January 2016. When his trial began, Rodrigues’s law- yer, Carol Shirtliff-Hinds, launched a Charter motion seeking to have the charges dismissed on the grounds he was the victim of an abuse of process. Justice of the peace Gerald Ryan dismissed the motion and the trial proceeded. Shirtliff-Hinds couldn’t be reached for comment. The City has not yet respond- ed to a request for comment. FORMER from page 1 Metroland file photo PICKERING -- Former Pickering councillor Peter Rodrigues was found not guilty of contravening the City’s sign bylaw. Former Pickering councillor relieved after acquittal DURHAM -- One lucky person who pur- chased a Lotto 6/49 ticket in Pickering might not know it yet, but that yellow piece of paper is worth $1 million. The ticket was for the Sept. 17 draw and included a Guaranteed $1 Million Prize draw. “Somebody’s going to win the Guaran- teed $1 Million Prize each and every draw, and this time the winning ticket was sold in Pickering,” said Wendy Montgomery, OLG vice-president, lottery marketing and sales. An Encore winning ticket worth $100,000 was sold in Mississauga. There have been 348 Guaranteed $1 Mil- lion Prize draws to date, with 151 of the winning tickets sold in Ontario. The next Lotto 6/49 draw is on Saturday, Sept. 24 for an estimated $9-million jack- pot and the Guaranteed $1 Million Prize draw.

Not surprisingly, single-serve coffee has emerged as a significant con- sumer growth market. About 27 per cent of homes have single-serve brewers and use coffee pods. With convenience, however, comes increased waste, and consumers are start- ing to connect their love of the single- serve brewing machine with the guilt that the garbage can represents. With a whop- ping 10 billion coffee pods thrown away globally each year, consumers are starting to walk away from the product. For example, Hamburg, the second larg- est city in Germany, banned the use of single-serve coffee pods from its council buildings this year. However, there are ways for consumers to feel environmentally responsible while continuing their affair with the single- serve coffee phenomenon. Nespresso first introduced coffee pods in 1976. Early Nespresso users could break the product into several parts to make it recyclable. But this turned out to be an unreasonable expectation for most con- sumers. It is now understood that single- serve is convenience-driven, and a green supply chain solution ought to be equally convenient. Forty years later, convenient solutions are being developed. The compostable pod, developed by the University of Guelph and championed by Club Coffee, a well-known Toronto-based food vendor, is ready to go. The path to launching this technology - a combination of product development and social engineering - has not been easy. Municipalities, the caretakers of the technology at the end of the products’ life cycle, did not initially embrace the compostable pod. However, with test- ing, municipal officials have come to real- ize that the product does break down as advertised. The bigger issues are composting stew- ardship and funding. Resistance to the compostable pod stems from uncertain- ty around funding for waste collection between municipalities and governments, particularly in Ontario. While companies may come up with the best of technologies based on sound envi- ronmental values, the reality of the mar- ketplace is much more complicated. But strides are being made. Loblaw chair and president Galen Weston recently endorsed Club Coffee’s compostable pods at his company’s annual general meeting and served it to attendees. That’s a significant call-out from Canada’s No. 1 food retailer. But the broader industry will only make significant moves if consumers voice con- cerns and choose solutions. That would help build business cases for sustainable food packaging solutions. And this is just the beginning. With an aging baby boomer population and the number of people living alone steadily growing, the single-serve philoso- phy will be key in food innovation. Com- postable food serving technologies are increasingly available to consumers, and that means policy-makers from all lev- els of government must find new funding models to support enhanced composting facilities across the country. Single-serve packaging could even be edible in the future. Technologies from forward-thinking food companies and academia could allow us to eliminate household waste all together. But to accomplish these significant goals, we need to give today’s innovative thinkers and their products a fighting chance, even if it is one cup of coffee at a time. --- Troy Media columnist Sylvain Char- lebois is Dean of the Faculty of Manage- ment and Professor in the Faculty of Agri- culture at Dalhousie University. 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 • Se p t e m b e r 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 19 AP 905-426-3338 (FEET) • 48 ChurCh ST.

While many people visit their local ice cream parlor or grocery store frozen food aisle to satis- fy their fix, this delicious and often deca- dent dessert can be made at home. Those who want to try their hands at homemade ice cream should consider the following recipe from Lori Longbotham’s Luscious Creamy Desserts (Chronicle Books). Caramelized Honey Ice Cream With Rosemary and Orange Serves 6 to 8 1⁄2 cup honey 2 cups heavy whipping cream 11⁄2 cups whole milk 2 6-inch sprigs fresh rosemary 5 strips orange zest, removed with a vegetable peeler 8 large egg yolks 1⁄2 cup sugar Pinch of salt 1⁄2 cup fresh orange juice Honey Caramel Sauce (see below) Bring the honey to a boil in a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes, or until darkened, but not burned, and very fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat. Bring the cream and milk just to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rosemary and zest, remove the pan from the heat, and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Discard the rosemary and zest. Whisk the honey into the cream mixture and cook, whisking occasionally, over low heat for a few minutes, until well combined and smooth. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the warm cream mixture, whisking con- stantly. Return to the saucepan and cook, whisking constantly, over medium-low heat until the custard has thickened and coats the back of a spoon; if you draw your finger across it, it should leave a track. Do not let the custard boil or scorch on the bottom; if tiny bubbles appear around the edges, remove the pan from the heat for a few minutes to cool the custard, continu- ing to whisk. Pour the custard through a fine strainer set over a large glass measure or bowl. Whisk in the orange juice. Let cool to room temperature, whisking occasional- ly, then refrigerate, tightly covered, for 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled, or for up to 1 day. When ready to freeze, pour the mix- ture into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instruc- tions. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving. To serve, spoon the ice cream into serving bowls or glasses. Drizzle with the Honey Caramel Sauce, if desired. Honey Caramel Sauce Makes about 2 cups 11⁄2 cups honey 1⁄2 cup heavy whipping cream Pinch of salt 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Bring the honey to a boil in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil for 5 minutes, or until darkened, but not burned, and very fragrant. Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly and care- fully pour in the cream. Add the salt, bring to a boil over medium heat, and boil for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened; the sauce will thicken further as it stands. Add the lemon juice and vanilla and pour the sauce through a fine strainer set over a medium glass measure or bowl. Serve hot or warm, or let cool and refrig- erate, tightly covered, for up to 2 months.

Cape Bretoners claim that if one never believed in magic, this is the place where one becomes a believer. “Your eyes may not be big enough to take it all in, but your heart will,” is another of the island’s ditties that I hoped to verify during my short tour of Canada’s eastern province. When I toured the island a few weeks ago, besides the marvelous vistas, I enjoyed its superb seafood cuisine, especially the lob- ster dishes. From appetizers, chowders, salads, and entrees, almost every dish featured lobster. In the food culture of Cape Breton, this crustacean is the king. One of my favourites is Cape Breton’s lobster roll, that I lunched on at the Arichat Seafood Market. Fresh, tender lobster mixed with some greens, fresh lemon and even mayonnaise, it gave me ever-lasting memories of my visit to Canada’s hidden island gem, Cape Breton. Cape Breton Lobster Rolls Serves 6 1 pound cooked lobster meat (or frozen, thawed and drained; or canned), chopped 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 4 tablespoons finely chopped celery 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions 2 tablespoons very finely chopped onions 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 8 artisan-style hot dog buns (toasted, optional) Lemon wedges In bowl, mix together all the ingredients except buns and lemon wedges. Slice buns then place lobster mixture in between and serve as sandwiches for entrees or snacks. Serve with lemon wedges if you prefer a tartier taste.

Cindy, 59, passed peacefully at home with family in the early hours of Saturday, September 17th. Cindy was the best friend and dearly loved wife of Larry Harding, cherished mom to her two daughters - Jamie Otter and husband Fred, and Jessie Harding and partner Dave Hodgson - and beloved daughter of Muriel "Babe" and the late Art Smith. Cindy will be forever missed by her treasured granddaughters Averie and Brynlee. She will be fondly remembered by her sister Karen Munroe and her husband Don, nieces Tracey and Kelly and other family members. She is also survived by siblings Larry and Robin. Her work was a passion. As a long-time employee of Scotiabank, Cindy helped countless people achieve their goal of home ownership, and recently saw her own dream project completed: a beautiful house on 85 acres of farmland. Some of her happiest times were spent at the family cottage, making memories with those she loved. Though she is gone too soon, she lives forever in the hearts of everyone she touched with her smile, laughter and drive to help others at any opportunity. Visitation will take place at BARNES MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 5295 Thickson Rd. N. Whitby, on Thursday September 22nd from 2:00 - 4:00 pm and 7:00 - 9:00 pm. On Friday, a service to celebrate and remember Cindy will be held in the Barnes Chapel at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Spinal Cord Injury Ontario or a local charity of your choice would be appreciated. Messages of condolence and shared memories can be left for the family by visiting barnesmemorialfuneralhome.com.
