I read the instruc- tions on the back and turned the tick- et over again but I still wasn’t convinced I had won.” The 33-year-old construction worker headed back to the store. “I used the ticket checker and the prize amount appeared on the screen,” he said. “My girlfriend was with me and she started to tear up. We left the store because I didn’t want to attract any attention.” Boscarino and his girlfriend returned home. “We were in a daze. Until I arrived at the Prize Centre, it just didn’t feel real.” The win comes at the perfect time for Boscarino. “I was recently laid off and my truck died earlier this week,” he said. “I plan to save a portion of my windfall and then buy a new car. I also want to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring.” Boscarino bought the winning ticket at New Town Variety on Yonge Street in New- market. Pickering planning and development committee will discuss Infrastructure Ontario’s plan to build subdivision in the area BY KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Immediately north of the hamlet of Whitevale, hikers, joggers, nature lovers and locals enjoy the hills, trails and meadows of a former gravel pit that has now flourished as a living ecosystem. But that could change as the large devel- opment of Seaton in central Pickering takes shape. The community is expected to attract 70,000 people and 35,000 jobs and has been in the works since the 1970s. Infrastructure Ontario, which manages the provincially owned land, has submitted a plan of subdivision to the City of Pickering. The planning and development committee will consider the application and a zoning bylaw amendment at an upcoming meet- ing. Justin Greaves / Metroland PICKERING -- Whitevale residents Brigitte Sopher, left, and Mary Evans checked out an old gravel pit north of the hamlet where they would like a section preserved as a natural park, and not developed.

Final decision on hospital merger with Lakeridge Health on dec. 1 BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Supporters of the Ajax-Pickering Hospital gathered in front to the facility Satur- day to express their opposition to a proposed merger likened by one speaker to a “hostile takeover” by the Lakeridge Health system. “Our very existence is being threatened by a hostile takeover by Lakeridge Oshawa,” said Dr. Romas Stas, associate chief of staff and medical director of complex continuing care, as attendees at a noon rally applauded and waved signs. “They are not interested in co-operation,” he warned. “They’re interested in domina- tion.” Speakers expressed fears that equipment and programs that have been made possible by community fundraising efforts could fall under ownership of the Lakeridge system should the amalgamation, which is under consideration by provincial Health Minister Eric Hoskins, proceed. There’s also concern that the $18-million price of the amalgamation will come at a cost to frontline services, said Sara Labelle, a Lak- eridge Health worker and a member of the Ontario Health Coalition. Labelle warned that merging Ajax-Picker- ing with the Lakeridge system would place additional stress on already-strained budgets and human resources. “At the end of the day, this is about protect- ing services and keeping services in the com- munity,” she said. “This hospital should be a free-standing hospital.” Labelle urged hospital supporters to make their views on the proposed merger known to the provincial government. The deadline for written submissions to the health minister is Nov. 14, with a final decision pending Dec. 1, she said. Lloyd Rang, senior director of communica- tions with Lakeridge Health, said that rather than depleting services, the proposed merger will help to ensure their continuation at Ajax- Pickering and throughout Durham. “What I see is an opportunity to build a regional system of acute care that really ben- efits patients and families across the region,” he said. “There’s a commitment to delivering more services, not fewer.” Rang added that Lakeridge, which has turned in balanced budgets for the past six years, has a plan to absorb the costs of amal- gamation over three years. “These are things we can do without impacting patient care,” he said. On the hot seat Saturday was local MPP Joe Dickson, a Liberal, who expressed support for the protest effort. “Everybody’s upset and they should be upset -- I’m upset with you,” said Dickson. "We don’t want ownership to go east to Lakeridge.” Dickson responded to hecklers by urging them to check on the efforts he’s made to put forward residents’ concerns at the legislature. “Anybody who doesn’t think I’m doing any- thing about it, come into Queen’s Park and speak with me personally,” he said. The merger is opposed by Ajax council, said regional Councillor Colleen Jordan, who attended the rally as an observer. There’s con- cern Ajax-Pickering may be under-repre- sented among directors in an expanded Lak- eridge Health system, she said. Jordan said residents, many of whom have helped raise money for Ajax-Pickering hos- pital, are concerned about funds and equip- ment being diverted elsewhere in the region. “We don’t want to see services diminished,” she said. “We want to see services increased.” Opponents of the merger are asking resi- dents to make submissions to the Health Ministry via communityfeedback@ontario. ca. Rang, the Lakeridge Health spokesman, encouraged residents to check out details of the merger proposal at the website ourhos- pitals.ca. He said it’s encouraging that people are taking such a keen interest in the future of their hospital. “People are passionate about their hospital, which I think is fantastic,” he said. Proposed merger likened to ‘hostile takeover’ during rally at Ajax-Pickering hospital Justin Greaves / Metroland AJAX -- Oshawa MPP Jennifer French spoke during the protest against the Ajax- Pickering hospital and Lakeridge Health merger, outside the Ajax-Pickering hospital on Nov 5. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 9 , 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 $aving YOU THOU$anD$...

Margaret B.-Ajax THE JOY OF GIVING THE P ANDORA STORE AT PICKERING TOWN CENTRE 1355 Kingston Rd.•905.492.7263 jinnys.ca/pandorapickering Matthew Bell sentenced after pleading guilty to sexual exploitation of teen swimmer BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Matthew Bell, former owner of the Ajax Swim Club and at one time a rising star on the national swimming scene, has been sentenced to seven months in jail for the sexual exploitation of a teenaged athlete. The sentence, delivered Monday, Nov. 7 in an Oshawa courtroom, is the latest development in Bell’s fall from grace, which began last year when the victim, now in her 20s, reported the abuse to Durham police. “He was not just a swim coach -- he was one of the best anywhere,” Ontario Court Justice John Adamson noted. Bell, 36, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to sexual exploitation and luring, charges relating to contact he had with the victim in early 2011 when he was 30 and she was 16. He admitted to two encounters during which sexual touch- ing occurred, and to numerous sexually charged online con- versations with the girl. The relationship was a grievous breach of trust that Bell knew was unethical and illegal, Justice Adamson noted. “The man who was (the victim’s) coach and mentor was exploiting her,” the judge said. In Monday’s ruling Justice Adamson was mindful of the impact the exploitation had on the victim, who described in a statement the torment -- punctuated by thoughts of suicide -- she’s endured. “Nothing I do here will bring back (her) innocence,” the judge said. “It sounds like much of the joy of her high school and university years was devoured by this crime.” Bell’s seven months in jail will be followed by two years of probation. He’ll also be on the national sex offender registry for life. At the time of his arrest in November 2015, Bell was CEO of Ajax Swimming. An accomplished coach, his past roles with Swimming Canada included acting as a member of the coaching staff at the 2015 FINA world junior championships. Soon after his arrest, Swimming Canada announced it had cut ties with him. “Mr. Bell lost his avocation,” Justice Adamson said Mon- day. “To acknowledge that it was thrown away must be gall- ing indeed.” 733 KINGSTON RD.

IO spokeswoman Bianca Lankheit said in an e-mail the gravel pit lands were designated as ‘residential’ in the Cen- tral Pickering Development Plan in May 2006. “In addition to aligning with City of Pickering’s Official Plan Amend- ment and the Region of Durham’s Offi- cial Plan, the plan of subdivision also reflects the Ontario Municipal Board’s approved land use, which was deter- mined in March 2013,” she said. Lankheit said developing these lands will help create a work/live environment that’s envisioned for Seaton. But the Whitevale committee would like to see a natural park that would act as a transitional area between the manicured urban parks planned for the development and the existing Seaton Trail, a popular spot located along the West Duffins Creek in Pickering. “We would like everybody to use the park,” said longtime Whitevale resident Brigitte Sopher. “We are trying to take advantage of the feature that is already there.” They suggest the flat expanses of land along North Road and north of the pit be developed, and the lower areas leading to the marsh be managed and enhanced with native species and trail heads. The residents are not opposing the elemen- tary school planned for the area, and feel the area could be beneficial to the children for ecological studies and proj- ects. “With a little TLC you could really see this thriving,” said Mary Evans, White- vale resident. The residents are looking for the City’s support in the matter. “I do think there is an opportunity for the City of Pickering to get behind it,” said Sopher. Ward 3 Regional Councillor David Pickles has met with the residents and says there could be room to tweak the plans to maintain more of the trails and offer more connections, possibly a trail head, with areas for parking. “I don’t think it’s an all-or-nothing proposition,” he said. “I hope maybe the Province can scale back some of the development plans to maintain some of the trails.” Coun. Pickles will sit down with Infra- structure Ontario to discuss options. “It’s a really pretty area and it would be nice to preserve some of the trails,” he said. “If we can preserve some of the trails and provide more access to the trails, they may be more willing to enter- tain that idea.” Coun. Pickles says the Whitevale group’s suggestions will be discussed when the application goes to the plan- ning and development committee. Whitevale residents urge City to preserve land for park WHITEVALE from page 1 With a little TLC you could really see this thriving. -- Mary Evans, Whitevale resident “ Pickering remembers Ron Pietroniro / Metroland PICKERING -- The colour guard marched through Esplanade Park (above) towards the Pickering Cenotaph during the Remembrance Day parade and service hosted by Bay Ridges Legion Branch 606 on Nov. 6.

Content is protected by copyright. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 column our opinion The majority of Canadians live their daily lives untouched by war or terror- ism. We are fortunate here in this country as no world conflicts or a major terrorist attack, such as the one witnessed in New York City on 9/11, have taken place on Canadian soil. That’s not to say terrorist events have not happened here at all. We turn our thoughts to 2014 when Corporal Nathan Cirillo was shot and killed by a lone ter- rorist at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, or when Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed by a similarly mis- guided jihadist in Quebec when he was killed in a hit and run. Those two attacks frightened Canadians from coast-to- coast and hardened our resolve to stamp out terrorism across the world. Canada has stood by our allies when called upon, most recently through our military mission in Afghanistan where 158 of Canada’s most courageous citi- zens gave their lives fighting Taliban oppression. We should also not forget Canada’s peacekeepers, and those deployed in the interests of averting greater conflict in recent decades. Those men and women served Canada and indeed the whole world by keeping the peace. Sounds sim- ple enough but sometimes keeping two sides from attacking one another is a lot harder than letting them fight. But the results are worth the sacrifice. Is it any wonder Canada is viewed as a destination of choice by refugees fleeing war torn areas of the world? Peace is an attractive feature for someone surround- ed by hatred and war and who has only seen conflict most of their lives. Canada remains a nation that is open and wel- coming, confident and friendly, a nation that welcomes people from around the globe to build more prosperous and rewarding lives for themselves. Indeed, Canada has much for which it can and should be proud. We breathe life into that pride and respect through our remembrance of the fallen every Nov. 11. Remembrance Day is a day where all Canadians get an opportunity to pay trib- ute to all those who have fallen for their country. Wear your poppy prominently and proudly, observe a sombre moment of silence, take part in some of the cer- emonies offered in your community at local cenotaphs, acknowledge the pres- ence of local veterans, and keep a warm thought for the men and women who have put their country’s interests ahead of their own self-interest when duty called. Nov. 11 holds deep meaning for Cana- dians, as it should. Let us all celebrate the lives of those who gave the ultimate sac- rifice, honour the men and women who have served and continue to serve, and pay our collective respects. Canada’s military veterans deserve our respect and thanks ‘Tis the season for open houses. No, not the holiday kind. The season of uni- versity and college open houses is upon us and it’s also full of gifts and merri- ment. As a recruiter for Trent University Durham – Greater Toronto Area, the late fall is one of my busiest times as I set out on the road, visiting students from school boards spanning the entire province, armed with brochures, pro- gram information and, of course, swag -- who doesn’t love a free water bottle? Open house is a special time. It’s when students get to come to us here at Trent University Durham - GTA. Our ‘pros- pects,’ as we call them, finally get to step foot on our campus. They get a sense of the atmosphere of our university. They get to see for themselves what we’ve been telling them -- why our university is a great choice for them. It’s where stu- dents begin to discover what it will be like to be a part of higher education. It’s an important step in the lives of those who are considering post-secondary education. At Trent, we do open house well. Real- ly well. First of all, we love it when you come to visit us, because we get to show you just how great we are -- all the rea- sons that make us the No. 1 undergrad- uate university in the province (for the sixth year in a row, I might add). If you or someone you know is thinking about going to university, read on -- I’ll tell you more about us and our upcoming open house. At Trent Durham’s open house on Nov. 12, you’re going to experience a lecture, or several, if you choose. Busi- ness, Social Work, Psychology, Child and Youth Studies... the list goes on. We’re offering mini-lectures similar to the kind you’ll experience in your first- year, so you’ll get a real sense of what it’s like to be a Trent student. Our clubs and groups fair is also taking place so you can explore just how many activities there are on campus. There are so many different interest groups to choose from and you’ll be able to tailor your campus-life experience to suit you perfectly. Faculty will be on-hand ready to chat with you as well. Trent Durham is known for its stellar student/fac- ulty interactions and open house is no exception. Our faculty is available to you for the whole afternoon, not just in the mini-lectures, but through- out the campus. Ask them your ques- tions, engage in some academic rheto- ric about a philosophical question that you’ve been pondering, or take a selfie with a world-renowned researcher or award-winning lecturer. They’re at your disposal to learn more about them, and the academic programs that they are passionate about. If you’re considering post-secondary education, you don’t want to miss open house. On Saturday, Nov. 12, from 1 to 4 p.m. we’re opening our campus, and we’re looking forward to meeting you. Oh, and as an added bonus -- if you attend open house, you can enter our draw to win your first-year tuition free!

The officer spotted a truck towing a camper trail- er travelling below the speed limit and swaying into the opposite lane at about 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 2 on Lakeridge Road near Regional Road 13 in Brock Township, police said. A traffic stop resulted in the discovery of a small amount of marijuana in the truck cab, and more than eight pounds of marijuana shake in the truck’s box. Officers obtained a search warrant for the camper and inside found more than 18 pounds of pot, most of it packaged for sale, and a further 96 pounds of shake, which is used in the production of hash oil, police said. Police estimate the total value of the drugs is esti- mated at $54,000. Brian O’Connor, 49, of Holt Road in Clarington, is charged with possession and production of can- nabis, as well as using an unauthorized vehicle plate. Traffic stop results in big pot seizure, charges for Durham man Jason Liebregts / Metroland Pickering students try on being firefighters for a day PICKERING -- Four Grade 8 students -- Adam Strowbridge, Will Dixon, Maya Archer and Olivia Barns -- suited up in their bunker gear in preparation for some exercises planned at Pickering Fire Station 5.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m no big fan of politi- cians (especially those who kill us with incinerators) but they didn’t drive the housing prices up. Meanwhile it was announced today that the major Cana- dian housing markets are alarmingly overvalued and as your article pointed out, this “fact” affects suburban markets as well. The Canadian economy is virtual- ly flat. The world economy is in tatters. World politics are volatile with the U.S. (the world controller) coming apart at the seams. Global warming is negative- ly affecting the weather, the climate, the availability of water, agriculture and, of course, the world economy with torna- dos, hurricanes, floods, earth quakes, wild fires ... In my mind, worldwide recession, massive unemployment and another real estate bubble burst will sadly move many new homeowners well past their concerns regarding exorbitant taxes -- because they’ll be walking away from a home they can neither pay for nor sell. I honest to God hope I’m wrong but I believe houses will soon be much, much cheaper. Randy Gostlin Oshawa The deterioration of Harwood Avenue To the editor: There’s a sign on the east side of Har- wood Avenue southbound advertising ‘Road Improvements’. The sign should read ‘Road Deterioration’. How can a roadway be improved by eliminating a lane of traffic? Ajax Mayor and council should be ashamed of themselves for destroying a beautiful roadway which presented the wonderful Ajax lakefront. It is probably the most hideous imple- mentation this council has ever done. It looks like a Developing World roadway, designed without forethought, pedes- trians fighting with bike traffic, gardens which will turn into weeds. All this for only $800,000 of taxpayers’ dollars. Ajax longs for politicians who will focus on the town’s REAL NEEDS. We DON’T NEED pictures of bicycles on street signs. We don’t need to strangle traffic. Frank Gallucci Ajax Slots money does not keep taxes low in Ajax To the editor: Re: Ajax receives about $1.9 million in OLG Slots at Ajax Downs money, news, Nov. 2 I read with interest this article regard- ing the slots money. Everything was fine until I got to the last paragraph, which states, “In 2015 the town received $7.16 million. It uses the money to keep taxes low, advance capital projects and pro- vide funding for social causes.” The part about “keeping taxes low” has to be a joke, right? Reading that line almost made me choke on my corn flakes. Who is trying to kid who here? I read previously that council has pro- posed yet another two percent or so increase for the coming year, throw in a similar amount for the Region, and we are looking at between a four or five per cent increase once again. If this was in the City of Toronto, I’m sure they would be rioting in the streets or at least want someone’s head on a platter. Yet we put up with this crap year after year and no one seems to have the stones to say enough is enough. I attended a Ward 2 meeting last year, and this very subject was brought up, about slots money. It was stated at that meeting that slots money does definitely not have any bearing on taxes. Steve Smith Ajax Regional councillors behaving like sheep To the editor:   Re: Article ‘Durham councillors must remember taxpayers not made of money”, editorial, Oct. 27   First let me say thanks to Councillor Neal of Clarington for speaking up on behalf of Durham residents. Speaking for myself, another $50 or more tax hike is too much. The cost of utilities, food and other necessities of life have all gone up over the last year. Our money can only go so far.   Of course none of the other councillors backed him, because they are cowards. They are like sheep.  Marjorie Seymour Pickering Letters to the editor LCBO, Brock Street Brewery announce recall of canned Blonde Lager DURHAM -- The LCBO and a local brewery have announced a recall of beer over con- cerns the cans may burst. A “limited number of cans” of Brock Street Blonde Lager produced in October are undergoing a second fermentation, which can create excessive pressure inside the containers, the LCBO said Monday, Nov. 7. The affected product has been removed from LCBO shelves and customers can return unopened cans. Consumers are advised to be cautious when handling 473 ml cans of the beer. Affected lot numbers include BA-290816- 22; BA-170816-21; BA-080816-20 and BA-020816-19. The lot code is located near the base of the can.

And that priceless photo of Emma celebrat- ing her first potty training success? It’s just the sort of milestone that attracts kudos and cheery chatter on your social media page. But what will Liam and Emma think when it’s rediscovered by their peers when they hit high school? Or what if it ends up on some blogger’s viral top 10 list or is discovered by a prospective future employer? Sharing personal mementos online with family and friends in the 21st century requires some serious forethought. “The Net never forgets,” said Daniel Ther- rien, privacy commissioner of Canada. “Once you’ve posted something online, it can be very difficult to get it back.” Recognizing that children and teens are an especially vulnerable group when it comes to the reputational harm that could come from sharing personal information online, Ther- rien’s first bit of advice is for parents to lead by example. “You can’t expect your children to think before they click if you don’t,” he said. “Those funny photos of your child can be copied, shared and stuck online forever. Posting them is not unlike a friend tagging you in an unflat- tering or compromising photo without your permission.” Commissioner Therrien is also urging families to create their household do’s and don’ts for surfing the web and downloading and using mobile applications together. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Can- ada recently unveiled House Rules, an inter- active tool aimed at helping families do just that. The template can be downloaded from the OPC’s website. Ontario’s information and privacy com- missioner, Brian Beamish, tells kids and their parents to be proactive and to think before they post. Nothing is ever deleted from the Internet. “When going online, kids should think about ‘the 7 Ps’,” said Beamish. “Parents, police, predators, professors, prospective employers, peers and pals can view their online posts. They should think about wheth- er they are comfortable with the informa- tion they are sharing. Privacy is about free- dom of choice and people can control how much personal information they post online and who has access to it.” Another helpful resource is the OPC’s graphic novel aimed at tweens and younger teenagers. Social Smarts: Privacy, the Internet and You was created to help young Canadians better understand and navigate privacy issues in the online world. Developed with feedback from youth, it tells the story of a brother and sister who learn -- sometimes the hard way -- about the priva- cy risks related to social networking, mobile devices, texting and online gaming. Parents will also find a handy discussion guide that accompanies the graphic novel, which can be used to kick off a conversation about safe surfing. Of course there’s no reason to wait until your kids are older to teach them about online privacy. A number of activity sheets available for younger children seek to explore privacy issues through mazes, colouring, connect- the-dots and other fun, hands-on activities. “By better understanding privacy commu- nications, children will be able to make more informed choices about the websites they visit, the apps they use and the games they play,” Therrien said.

Read the story at durhamregion.com Cold weather bucket list for Durham parents and kids Cold and dark days don’t have to be bleak. Durham Parent to the rescue with this brief bucket list to make the cold weather a cause for celebration. Game night -- Invite friends and fam- ily over and bust out the board games. There’s very little prep work needed and you can enjoy hours of bonding time with your little ones. Host a cooking show -- Cool dark days are just right for baking or cooking. Let the kids plan the menu and get busy in the kitchen. Record clips of the process to watch together while enjoying what they’ve whipped up. Feed the birds -- Grab a bag of bird seed and take a walk along a local trail. If the weather is miserable, buy (or make) a plain birdhouse and let the kids dec- orate it. Fill it up and hang it outside a window to admire their handiwork all winter long. Puddle jumping -- It’s hard to keep young kids cooped up in the house all day. With some cute rain boots and a colourful umbrella, you can turn them loose outside even when it’s wet. Savour the snow -- When the white stuff finally falls, take the time to enjoy it. Young kids will love building a snow- man or snow fort. Older children can get active with skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing and cross-country skiing. Ever heard of fat biking (a.k.a. fat-tire biking, a.k.a. snow biking)? It could be a great year to discover a new winter sport with the family. Community holiday celebrations -- Keep your eye on your community events calendar. As we get closer to the holidays, there will be a host of awe- some family activities to enjoy -- holiday house tours, tree lighting ceremonies, Santa Claus parades and the Santa train. -- with tips from tourism in the planning and economic development department of Durham Region. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 9 , 2 0 1 6 22 AP Dr. David Gove A Celebration of Life for Dr. David Gove will take place on Saturday November 12, 2016 from 2 to 4 pm at the McEachnie Family Centre, 20 Church Street N.

STEPHENS, Keith William - Keith W Stephens passed away peacefully at his home in Newcastle, Ontario, on 26 October 2016, with his family by his side. Keith was 83 years old, beloved husband of Patricia "Scooter" (nee: Daniel) for 61 years and devoted father to Kevin, Cindy (Norm) and Michael (Paul); adoring grandfather to Stacey, Madison, Emily and Jason; dear brother to Doug (Michelle) and cherished uncle to Shannon (Mike). Keith will also be missed by his faithful buddy Max. Keith was an avid golfer and sports fan. In his family's younger life, he was always the father at the rink or pool at 5AM for his kids. He dedicated many years coaching winning teams in a variety of sports, primarily hockey and baseball. He played tennis, racquetball, and always golfed. His favorite teams were the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Raptors, whose games he enjoyed for the strategies in the game, as much as the great plays. Keith worked at Unilever / Thomas J Lipton Company for 44 successful years retiring in 1994. In retirement, Keith managed the Wilmot Creek Lakers baseball team every year, and organized many golf events during the summer at Wilmot Creek and again during the winter at their home in Naples FL. He especially loved marshalling the 9th and 18th holes at the Shark Shootout every November in Naples. Both north and south homes were special because of the good times and great friendships. Regardless of the setting Keith was always at the epicenter of the laughter and joy. We miss you and we will see you again.

Joel will be missed by his wife of 36 years Lynn Hawley, his daughter Jennifer and his son known as B2T. He was a loyal husband, devoted father and hard-working business owner. He was also an active member of the Ajax Kinsmen Club and avid ball-player. Joel was an honest retailer in the paint and paper business, operating the St. Clair Paint and Paper Store in the Discovery Bay Plaza in Ajax, as well as the One Stop Paint Shop in Pickering. He readily shared his knowledge about paint and home decor with both home owners and painters. His family invites those who knew him to attend a Celebration of Life at the Ajax Community Centre, 75 Centennial Road, in the Commodore's Room from 2:30 to 5:30 pm.
