Starting in September 2017, college and university tuition will be "free, almost free, or better than free," for an estimated 210,000 students from families with com- bined household incomes of $50,000 or less. Better than free means eligible stu- dents may also get financial help with liv- ing expenses. "It is a fundamental change," Wynne said to a group of about 50 stu- dents, who assembled for a town hall style chat at UOIT's Automotive Centre of Excel- lence Feb. 6. She said those from high income fami- lies are four times more likely to get post- secondary education, noting the current OSAP system "wasn't targeting the stu- dents who needed it the most." The new OSAP will also provide help for students from families in other income brackets. For families with incomes between $50,000 and $80,000, four out of five students will be eligible for free tuition. Students from families with an income higher than $80,000 will receive 30 per cent off their tuition. Mature students and adult learners with family incomes of less than $50,000 will also qualify for free tuition, and may also be eligible for money toward child care costs. "Our underlying principle is that stu- dents should have access to college and university based on their ability, based on their capacity to do the work, rather than based on their or their family's income," Wynne noted. The government is funding the OSAP changes by taking $400,000 million that was being distributed to high income fami- lies through a tax credit and redirecting it to lower income families. Mike Hoar, a diploma-to-degree student in his final year of the game development program at UOIT, asked why the province isn't making tuition free for everyone. Wynne said that question comes up a lot, and explained there is an expectation that families that are able to help their chil- dren financially, should do so. She also stressed that countries that offer free tuition often have fewer students attending college and university. "You can look at jurisdictions where this is the case, you will see that there is a much smaller percentage of students from the general population who actually go (to post-secondary school), because the gov- ernment can only afford to fully subsidize a certain number of students." Not all the questions from UOIT stu- dents related to tuition and OSAP. Nancy Arulnathan, a third year bache- lor of commerce student, wanted to know how Wynne deals with abusive comments, lack of accountability and false informa- tion on social media. It was a timely question - in recent weeks there has been much discussion about online vitriol directed at the premier, including threatening, homophobic and sexist Facebook posts and tweets. Wynne acknowledged that she finds it "very worrisome," but says she tries to insulate herself from much of it. The bigger concern, the premier said, is how an increasingly ugly online landscape impacts the political climate in Ontario. "I think it starts to poison the political discourse," she said. "It's not about my per- sonal feelings, it's about how are we going to get people to go into politics? How are we going to get people into public life, if they know they're going to be exposing themselves to that kind of hate speech?" The premier spent most of Monday in Durham region, making stops in the morn- ing at Ajax Seniors Friendship Centre, and St. Francis Centre for Community Arts and Culture in Ajax. She visited Durham College in the after- noon, then UOIT where she checked out a gaming lab in the Business and Informa- tion Technology Building before settling in for the student discussion. Wynne talks OSAP with UOIT students in Durham Benjamin Priebe / Metroland OSHAWA -- Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne spoke with a group of students during a visit to the Automotive Centre of Excellence at University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa Feb. 6.

Development on site of the former St. Anthony Daniel school on Duberry Drive PICKERING - A vacant Pickering ele- mentary school will be torn down and replaced with 40 detached houses when plans are approved at the next council meeting. The planning and development com- mittee approved a proposal for the land on the west side of Duberry Drive, south of Major Oaks Road at its Feb. 6 meeting. All Pickering councillors sit on the plan- ning and development committee. The property is currently occupied by the former St. Anthony Daniel Catholic Elementary School, which was officially closed in 2013, and sold to the current owner, Frontdoor Developments. The applicant is proposing a residen- tial subdivision consisting of 40 lots for detached dwellings, where 35 lots will front onto a new internal public road and five lots will front onto Duberry Drive. All dwellings are proposed to be two storeys in height. The matter will come to council for approval on Feb. 27. Pickering planning committee approves 40-home subdivision Metroland file photo PICKERING -- The former St. Anthony Daniel Catholic school -- closed in 2013 and subsequently sold -- will be torn down to make way for a new subdivision to include 40 detached homes on Duberry Drive. Developer plans 11 homes in Pickering's Rosebank neighbourhood PICKERING - A developer plans to build a subdivision of 11 detached homes in the Rosebank neighbourhood in Pickering. The plans were presented to the public for information on Feb. 6. A proposal will come to the planning and development committee at a future date. The lands are located on the south side of Gillmoss Road, west of the Canadian National Railway corridor and east of Rose- bank Road. Nine lots are proposed to front onto an internal public road and two lots are proposed to front onto Gillmoss Road. Surrounding lands to the north, south and west include low-density residen- tial development consisting of detached dwellings. To the east, across the CNR cor- ridor, is the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. The proposed lots will have frontag- es ranging from 10.6 to 35 metres, and lot areas ranging from 305 to 806 square metres. The lands would require a zoning amendment as the current zoning permits detached dwellings with a minimum lot frontage of 18 metres and a minimum lot area of 550 square metres. Durham police lay 5 drinking and driving charges during Super Bowl RIDE effort DURHAM - Five drinking and driving charges were laid when Durham police held a Super Bowl Sunday RIDE effort Feb. 5. Officers stopped 525 vehicles in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa, and demanded 11 roadside breath tests, but wound up issuing just one three-day suspension to a driver who registered a warning, police said. Cops conducting RIDE checks in east Oshawa and Clar- ington laid two impaired driving charges, and charged three motorists with driving while exceeding the legal blood alcohol limit. Elsewhere officers responded to a number of calls of people being drunk and disorderly at homes and establish- ments, including a fracas at a Whitby bar involving eight people. A man and woman were injured in that incident, police said. Overall, people seemed to plan ahead for the big football bash, relying on taxis, driving services and designated drivers to get around, police said. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Fe b r u a r y 9 , 2 0 1 7 5 AP Pretzel Crusted Chicken Bites w/Mustard Aioli Shrimp Prosciutto Tomato Skewer w/Balsamic Drizzle Red Thai Coconut Soup Roasted Grape Crostini w/Honey Lemon Goat Cheese Contessa’s Chicken w/Roasted Smashed Potatoes, Carrots & Asparagus Spinach Mushroom Ricotta Manicotti Beef Brisket w/Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Broccoli & Cauliflower $100 per couple.

The next phase of the review will also involve con- sultation with the public, including a public opinion survey to be conducted this winter, the service said in an update released Thursday, Feb. 2. Durham police began investigating the possibility of adopting the cameras, which are worn by officers and record their interactions with the public, in 2014. An update on the issue is expected to go to the Police Services Board in June of this year. At that time it's expected members will vote on whether or not to continue with the study; the next phase would involve the purchase of some cameras and officer training. The service has taken a phased approach to its consideration of the technology. While perceived benefits include increased officer accountability and community trust, adoption of the cameras will involve financial costs and inherent risks to both offi- cer and civilian privacy, board members have been advised. A report to the board last November indicated the cost of adopting a body-worn camera program might be almost $24 million, the majority of that funding dedicated to staffing and data management. Cost estimates include $1 million for training, $4.5 million for data storage, and $15.5 million in staffing costs. The recently-released request for information will seek options for cameras, video management soft- ware and data storage, the service said. "The goal is to give potential suppliers the oppor- tunity to assess and comment on the BWC (body- worn camera) project requirements, offer sugges- tions regarding potential alternative solutions and provide information to assist the DRPS with this proj- ect," the service said. Durham police take next step to equipping cops with cameras A one-year pilot project, which would not be conducted before 2018, would cost at least $750,000, police said. To date no cameras have been purchased.

Content is protected by copy-right. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 our opinion A brief glimpse at the bulk of social media posts, I’ve noticed, will give you a very thorough picture of what a lot of people are adamant- ly against: “Trump’s an idiot,” “Stop the pipeline,” “Down with Kathleen Wynne”... “Trump’s an idiot.” Most of us are very good at delineating what we hate, and with a global billboard at our fingertips, are more than happy to shout it from the digital mountaintop. Take a stroll through Facebook or any Twitter feed and you will very quickly see what I mean. But, be careful. You can’t, as the old saying goes, walk into the barn without coming out smelling like manure. Exposing yourself to that much anger will unquestionably alter your DNA in a very real, not-so-nice way. Anger, discontent and irritation certainly have their place. They are very helpful, accu- rate indicators that something in our lives is out of balance or not to our liking. Something we have read, witnessed or experienced is not gibing with our natural compass point of love, kindness and grace - and that’s good. To not feel outrage, indignation or disgust on occasion is to be dead, unplugged or discon- nected from our source in a very unhealthy way. The trick, though - I am finding - is in not staying there. In not following the anger and the vitriol down a dark rabbit hole that only leads to more of the same, but instead, using that emotion as a big, red flag to immediately turn around and all the more fervently bang the drum of what you are for, as opposed to what you are against. What, indeed, are you for? That is a very important question, and one that we all need to ask ourselves often. For it is never enough to simply be anti-something. We must be for its opposite. If you are sick of hate, trumpet love at every opportunity. If you loath war, then shout about the glories of peace. If you are terrified of oppression, be a banner for freedom. We are, all of us, incredibly power- ful magnets, and we draw to us and into this world more and more of what we place our focus on. Examine your own life thoroughly and honestly and you will find this to be true. It is important to point out inequity and iniquity in this world. We should all be watch- dogs for those things at all times. But I am convinced that the vast bulk of our time, love and energy must be spent in zealous support of their opposites. Find whatever and whom- ever makes you feel good and be for those things and people with all of your heart. Then will we have the world we all want. Shout, by all means; but let most of your shouting be joyful. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column columnLet most of your shouting be joyful neil crone Enter Laughing letter to the editor Premier’s tolling decisions consistent with past practices To the editor: Re: ‘Province’s toll decision reeks of hypocrisy,’ editorial, Feb. 1 While I generally agree with your posi- tion on tolls and Premier Kathleen Wynne and her government’s hypocrisy, I do believe that tolling Hwy. 407 is consistent with the rest of the 407. With respect to Hwy. 412, our local pol- iticians should share some of the blame, if it is true that they knew well in advance that Hwy. 412 would be a toll road, shame on them! It is likely no coincidence that Lake Ridge has not yet opened at Hwy. 401. Once, it is the 412 will be empty. This Liberal government is all about getting elected at any cost and like her pre- decessor, Dalton McGuinty, Wynne has a pension for “alternate truths.” The 905 is already blue, so like before, we need Toronto to wake up and smell the coffee. The best way to drive the message home is a 3-6 campaign to avoid using the 412 and at the same time track Lake Ridge usage. Gary Tovey Whitby The direction of policing includes the use of body-worn cameras, and that’s why the Durham Regional Police Services Board is currently doing its due-diligence to see if it’s a technology that can be effectively uti- lized. While there are perceived benefits, including officer accountability and com- munity trust, it seems the costs are just too high for it to be considered as a new full- time tool among front-line DRP officers in the near future. A report to the board last November indicated the cost of adopting a body-worn camera (BWC) program might be almost $24 million, with the majority of that fund- ing dedicated to staffing and data manage- ment. Cost estimates include $1 million for training, $4.5 million for data storage, and $15.5 million in staffing costs. A one-year pilot project, which would not be conduct- ed before 2018, would cost at least $750,000, Durham police said. The use of BWC technology is relatively new within Canadian policing, although a reported 48 major-city police departments in the U.S. have the program in place, along with policies that govern the use of BWCs. Toronto police completed a 10-month pilot project on BWCs last year, while Cal- gary police is also moving forward with having that city’s front-line officers use the technology. The Toronto Police Service review con- cluded the study - and the cameras - had shortcomings, although the police service is urging the use of body-cams for all front- line officers. As part of the study, 85 Toronto officers wore cameras in front of their uni- forms. The drawbacks included the battery life of the cameras that only lasted for half of the 10-hour shift, corrupting many of the videos officers recorded. The sample size of the Toronto study was also statistically so small, it was difficult to draw any conclusions on key issues, such as whether the existence of the cameras would cause the number of public complaints against officers to drop or whether officers would file fewer use-of-force reports. Like Durham, the costs to implement BWCs in Toronto are astronomical, cost- ing an estimated $85 million over 10 years for the cameras and digital video storage for 3,200 Toronto officers. That doesn’t include the administrative costs involved with the technology. In a time when Durham residents are being burdened with evermore taxation, the Durham Region Police Service must find a different way to pay for the cameras than taxpayers, if it feels they are needed. To put the cost on taxpayers would be unac- ceptable. Before the board goes too far with its test, it must first decide how it will pay for the technology. Cost too great to provide Durham police with body-worn cameras 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 • Fe b r u a r y 9 , 2 0 1 7 7 AP 2017OutlandereSaWC www.pickeringmitsubishi.ca 1167 Kingston road picKering, on, l1v 1b5 • 1-(866)519-0133 in the ♥Of pickering @ hwy 2 & Liverpool rd. 1NotallmodelsareofferedwithAWCtrimoption.Upto$2,300/$2,000no-chargeAWCcreditavailableonnew2017RVR/2017OutlandermodelswithavailableAWCtrimspurchasedanddeliveredbetweenJanuary4andJanuary31,2017.SomemodelsmayrequirepurchaseoftrimpackagethatincludesAWCtobeeligibleforno-chargeAWCcredit.2017RVR:OffermaynotbecombinedwithScotiabankSubventedFinancingPrograms,MMSCANFinancialServicesLeaseProgram,orScotiaDealerAdvantageSubventedFinancingPrograms.NochargeAWCcreditconsistsofadiscountthatisappliedbeforetaxestowardsthepurchasepriceofanAWCtrimatthetimeofsale.Discountmaynotfullycovercostoftrimpackage.Conditionsapply.2Nopaymentsforupto90daysavailableonallnew2016and2017modelsfinancedthroughScotiabanksubventedandDiamondRatefinancingprogramsonapprovedcreditthroughparticipatingdealerstoqualifiedretailcustomersuntilJanuary31,2017.Leasesexcluded.Offerincludesnopaymentsofmonthly/bi-weekly/weeklypaymentsforapproximately90/74/67days,subjecttoweekendsandstatutoryholidays.Interestcharges(ifany)willnotaccrueduringthefirst60daysafterpurchasersignscontract.Afterthefirst60days,interest(ifany)startstoaccrueandthepurchaserwillrepayprincipalandinterest(ifany)monthly,bi-weekly,orweekly(asapplicable)overthetermofthecontract.Someamountsmaybedueuponsigning.§AWCstandardon2017RVRSEAWC,LimitedEditionAWCandGTAWC.S-AWCstandardonOutlanderGT.**Whichevercomesfirst.Regularmaintenancenotincluded.Seedealerormitsubishi-motors.caforwarrantyterms,restrictionsanddetails.Someconditionsapply.**Whichevercomesfirst.Regularmaintenancenotincluded.Seedealerormitsubishi-motors.caforwarrantyterms,restrictionsanddetails.Someconditionsapply.No-ChargeAll-WheelControlandNoPaymentsfor90Daysoffer(s)arevalidonSelectModelsonly.TestdrivepromoendsFeb14,2017.FactoryprogramsendFeb28,2017.$599dealeradministrationfeeappliestoallvehiclepurchases.Offersaresubjecttochangewithoutnotice. builtbetter.baCkedbetter. $173.80 + HST & LIC BI-WEEKLY 2.99% APR 84 MTHS $30,241.75 + HST & LIC ALL IN FINANCE PRICE $0 DOWN NO - CHARGE ALL - WHEEL CONTROL& NO PAYMENTS FOR 90 DAYS on select vehicles $28,525.75 + HST & LIC all in cash price AVAILABLE FEATURES: PICKERING MITSUBISHIReliable…LikeOurWarranty!Reliable…LikeOurWarranty! $2,000 nO-CHarGe all-WHeelCOntrOlrebate| /allWHeelCOntrOlWitHMOdeSeleCtOr (4Wd/eCO/autO/lOCk) /Side-iMpaCtCurtainairbaGS(FrOnt&rear) /eleCtrOniCbrake-FOrCediStributiOn(ebd) /latCHSySteM(equippedFOrCHildreStraintSeatS) Outlander GT S-AWC model shown ‡ EVERY 14 TH TEST DRIVE WILL WIN A GIFT CARD FOR THE KEG!

Two women turned themselves in fol- lowing the incident, at a motel in Bea- verton in the early morning hours of Feb. 6, Durham police said. The victim told police a woman he'd met online showed up for their date with a friend. Both women left the motel but returned and produced a knife, ordering the man to hand over credit cards, PIN numbers and cash, police said. Police say the women used the cards to withdraw cash before turning them- selves in to police in Beaverton. Jamie Knox, 23, of Water Street in Brock Township and 28-year-old Tiffany Basler of Hwy. 12, Beaverton are charged with robbery. Ajax woman accused of assaulting cop during impaired arrest DURHAM - An Ajax woman has been charged with assaulting a police officer after she intervened when cops tried to arrest a suspected impaired driver early Friday morning. An officer spotted an eastbound vehicle on Bayly Street, near Finley Avenue, travel- ling at a high rate of speed and swerving on the roadway around 1:40 a.m. on Feb. 3, say Durham police. When the cop tried to stop the vehicle, however, the driver sped up and turned northbound onto Commercial Ave- nue, say police. The suspect vehicle finally came to a stop in a parking lot on Exeter Road and as the officer placed the male driver under arrest, the lone female passenger became angry and assaulted the cop, say Durham police. Other officers arrived at the scene to assist with arresting the pair, add authori- ties. Heather Sharp, 43, of Exeter Road in Ajax, is charged with assaulting a peace offi- cer and obstructing a peace officer. Gyasi Constantine, 39, of Eglinton Ave- nue in Toronto, has been charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle, exceeding and failing to stop for police. Anyone with information about this inci- dent is asked to contact Detective-Consta- ble Handscomb at 905-579-1520, extension 4780. 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 • Fe b r u a r y 9 , 2 0 1 7 8 P emore more flexibilityforyourRRSP Looking for a great rate, guaranteed return, and more flexibility in your RRSP?

St. Mary student Olivia Rocha receives $5,000 Horatio Alger scholarship Kristen Calis KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A Pickering teenager who overcame obstacles to earn a $5,000 schol- arship encourages those facing barriers to push through them to realize their goals. "People shouldn't limit themselves and their potential (when facing obstacles) because they can always persevere past them if they stay determined and work hard," said Olivia Rocha. The 17-year-old St. Mary Catholic Sec- ondary School student is one of 80 recipi- ents of Horatio Alger Canadian scholar- ships valued at $5,000 each. The awards are named for the 19th-century American author whose novels, such as Tattered Tom and Sink or Swim, sketch out the route from rags to riches: determination. The scholarships are awarded annually to deserving high school students in finan- cial need who have overcome significant adversity while demonstrating strength of character, strong academics, a commitment to pursuing higher education and a desire to contribute to society. "Each year, our association looks for the hardest working, most deserving Canadi- an students to award our post-secondary scholarships," said Prem Watsa, the Horatio Alger Association of Canada's president. The 17-year-old Pickering student grew up in a single-parent household, and has a nine-year-old sister with thyroid disease who receives treatment at The Hospital for Sick Children. "For me, my mom is a single mom and it's me, her and my sister, so I claimed for low income," she said. Olivia works as a part-time cashier at a Pickering grocery store and she volunteers through her school in a leadership program and an international outreach program, which currently includes raising money for natural disaster relief in Haiti. Thousands across Canada applied for the scholarship, and the average annual family income of the recipients was $22,297. "I'm really grateful for this scholarship and that students like me have an oppor- tunity to get extra money toward school because, as the years go by, school gets way less affordable and it limits students to not be able to go to school," Olivia said. The $5,000 is spread out over four years, and Olivia will receive $1,250 per year. "My mom was really happy," she said. "Now my books are covered for sure every year. Now we just have to worry about tuition." Olivia has applied to Trent University Durham Campus, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, and the University of Toronto Scarborough Cam- pus. She's already been accepted to U of T but has high hopes for an acceptance to Trent. "Trent is definitely No. 1 for me," she said. "I really like their campus. I think it's a really nice accessible intimate campus." She feels the smaller location will help her form good relationships with her pro- fessors and peers. Pickering teen overcomes obstacles, earns scholarship Jason Liebregts / Metroland PICKERING -- Olivia Rocha, 17, is a recipient of a $5,000 scholarship from the Horatio Alger Association of Canada, an organization that awards need-based scholarships to high school students who have overcome great adversity and want a post-sec- ondary education. 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 • Fe b r u a r y 9 , 2 0 1 7 9 P open daily at 6 am breakfast •l unch • dinner • dine-in or take-out 570 Westney Rd.S.,Ajax (GiantTiger Plaza) *Certain Restrictions Apply. 905-239-0936 The BEST BREAKFAST In TOWN!

Provincial offences include traffic tickets like speeding, liquor licence offences, tres- pass orders, parking tickets, and labour and environment ministry charges. After costs and the victim surcharge are factored out, revenues for provincial offences are split 60-40 between the lower-tier munic- ipalities and the region, with the exception of parking tickets where the revenue goes sole- ly to the lower-tier municipalities. After a banner year in 2015, revenues in 2016 dipped and Oshawa officials were noti- fied in January to revise their expectations. Previously, Oshawa had budgeted to receive $133,100 through provincial offenc- es, but was told to expect significantly less, just $40,600 this year. Matt Gaskell, commissioner of corporate services for the region, said Durham saw an increase in revenue in 2015 and had pro- jected that to continue into 2016. When that didn’t occur, officials revised their estimates for the subsequent year. “If tickets don’t get issued, that obvious- ly impacts revenue, and we don’t control if there’s blitzes out there or the issuance of offences that generate the revenues, we only administer,” he said. The gross revenue for provincial offences in Durham was $7.7 million in 2015. In 2016, it was expected to be in the ballpark of $7.3 million, which is just slightly above 2014 lev- els. Gaskell said the 2015 numbers were inflated by revenue from labour ministry and environment ministry charges. Rev- enue from those two ministries can fluctu- ate. Traffic ticket revenue between 2015 and 2016 was relatively steady, with a 1.4 per cent increase. After costs and the victim surcharge are factored out, the revenue is split among Dur- ham’s municipalities based on tax assess- ment size, with Oshawa receiving the largest chunk in Durham - about a fifth - followed by Whitby, which has a slightly smaller assess- ment size. The municipalities’ share of the money is also affected by administration costs, which are set to increase next year. “That’s the cost of running the courts. We run them, we have staff, we have prosecu- tors, we have wage increases, they’re mem- bers of our workforce,” said Gaskell. Every time a resident or business fights a ticket, it carries administrative costs, with millions spent in Ontario on justices of the peace, prosecutors, police witnesses, munic- ipal court staff and court facilities. According to the Association of Munici- palities of Ontario (AMO), in 2015, only 38.9 per cent of provincial offences in Ontario were prepaid, while 20.6 per cent of offenc- es were simply ignored. Another 18.7 per cent were challenged but disposed of before it went to trial, 19.2 per cent of cases were resolved on the day of the trial but without a trial, and just 2.6 per cent went to trial. One way to increase the revenue going to municipalities is to reduce the number of unpaid fines. Though Gaskell didn’t have the specific number for Durham, according to the AMO, there was $985 million in unpaid fines in Ontario at the end of 2015. The backlog existed when the municipal- ities took over running the system. “The system was not like other superior courts where, frankly, you could go to jail for not paying your fine,” Gaskell said. To combat that, in 2015 the province enacted legislation that allowed licence plates to be suspended over unpaid park- ing tickets and Highway 407 charges. In May 2017, new rules will allow plates to be sus- pended for other driving-based provincial offences, allowing the region to push to col- lect more of those dollars. As for issuing tickets, that’s up to enforce- ment officials, including the police. “The volume of what comes in is sort of out of our hands, there could be ebbs and flows depending on what’s going on in the broader environment,” said Gaskell. PROVINCIAL REVENUE DROP SQUEEZING DURHAM MUNICIPALITIES Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland WHITBY -- Durham municipalities will see revenue drop almost 70 per cent from provincial offences next year after regional offi- cials updated their forecast and factored in increasing administration costs. Police report four street-level robberies DURHAM -- Police have issued a warn- ing to residents after several reports of peo- ple being lured into robberies with online offers of cellphone purchases and sales. Between November 2016 and Feb. 4 of this year police have investigated four street-level robberies involving iPhone transactions, Durham police said. In each case, initial contact was made by way of online buy and sell sites, and meet- ings were arranged in residential areas in southwest Whitby. When the victims arrived suspects approached on foot, then grabbed either the cash or phone and ran off, police said. In two of the four incidents weapons were seen. A number of suspects have been involved but in all four incidents one, a black man in his late teens or early 20s with a thin build, has been present, police said. No injuries have been reported as a result of the robberies. Police advise anyone making and pur- chase or sale to arrange to meet in a well- lit public place, such as a shopping mall, and to bring a friend along if possible. Anyone with information is asked to call police on 905-579-1520, extension 1847 or Crime Stoppers on 1-800-222-8477.

DURHAM - Surveillance video imag- es helped police track down a suspect in a home invasion that targeted a Whitby senior Saturday. The elderly woman awoke to find a stranger in her bedroom and all the draw- ers to her dresser open just before 7 a.m. on Feb. 4, Durham police said. The sus- pect told the senior there was a fire and that she ought to stay in bed before flee- ing and leaving two bags of stolen property behind, police said. Investigators discovered an attempt had been made to break into another unit in the building, in the area of Nichol Avenue and Glen Hill Drive. Cops quickly identi- fied a suspect from surveillance images and arrested her a short time later. Tara Heffering, 34, of Banting Ave- nue in Oshawa is charged with break and enter, attempted break and enter and three counts of breach of probation.

I certainly did this week, watching the exciting new TV channel BBC Earth. I've often wondered, given all the sleek, fluffy fur other primates get to wear, why we humans ended up as naked apes. It seemed bizarre to me, especially in winter, that every other mammal on the planet can go about outside in per- fect comfort no matter the temperature, while we have to pull on sweaters, socks, mitts, boots and long underwear. Finally an answer that makes sense, from an enlightening documentary on the microbiome on our skin - the bil- lions of bacteria, fungi, yeasts and other creepy-crawlies that cover us no matter how much soap we use. And the tiny mites and ticks that cling to hairs and happily jump back and forth from host to host. Scientists figure that, over time, our Homo sapiens ancestors naturally selected less and less hairy versions of each other to avoid the problem. And the time-consuming practice of having to 'groom' one another, with which our cousins the monkeys always seem pre- occupied. In any case, I'm truly grateful for all the culture our clever species has amassed to help us survive in cold cli- mates - all the fires and furnaces, warm houses and toasty flannel sheets. And clothing. I have this amazing winter coat that takes me anywhere I want to go - even walking up the Opeongo Road in Algon- quin Park into an icy blast. A miracle of human ingenuity, it's light, warm and windproof, with a hood so deep it blocks side breezes and keeps your face from freezing. The heavy-duty zipper is adjustable for ease of movement and air condition- ing, and an inner skirt can be snapped to keep cold from seeping in below. Seven generous pockets include a mesh one inside to keep sandwiches warm, tucked against your ribs. The only thing wrong is the colour, an unflattering tan. Beggars can't be choosers. I got this marvellous coat for less than $10 at a local thrift shop, off the men's rack, and it came with a touching history. I was telling a neighbour, with great excitement, about my bargain find, and it turned out he had just donated it.

Its generally Mediterranean climate makes it an ideal spot for vines to flourish. The wine areas of South Africa stretch over the Western and Northern Cape for 500 kilometres (310 miles) west to east, and 680 kilometres (420 miles) north to south. There are many macroclimate and vineyard soil types influenced by unique geography, which includes several inland mountain chains and valleys. A unique dry gale force wind known as the 'Cape Doctor' occurs during the spring and summer months, having a generally beneficial effect on the vines - protecting them from diseases which depend on moisture. The 'quality control' system of South Africa called 'Wines of Origin' (WO) breaks down the wine areas into 'geo- graphical units' which are broken down into 'regions', then 'districts', and then into 'wards'. Constantia, a suburb of Cape Town, is the oldest wine producer in South Afri- ca (circa 1650) while the 'almost as old' Stellenbosch area, a few kilometres east of Cape Town, is regarded as one of the most important. Paarl, Tulbagh, Robertson, Worcester, Swartland, Wellington and Walker's Bay are among other important districts. The main grape grown is the white Chenin Blanc or 'Steen'. Cabernet Sau- vignon is the most planted red variety, though other international types are making headway. The one true South African 'crossing' of Pinot Noir and Cinsault grapes called Pinotage can make a variety of wine styles depending on the winemaker's whim. In the last 10 or so years, South Africa's wine prominence has grown remarkably, making it one of the most important wine countries in the South- ern Hemisphere. South African wine can be very rea- sonable. The white Two Oceans Sau- vignon Blanc (LCBO #340380, $9.95) offers great quality and price ratios with gooseberry, herbal and citrus flavours. It would go very well with fish dishes, nuts, oriental food and shellfish. The red Two Oceans Shiraz (LCBO #699249, $10) has flavours of plum, spice, cherry and vanilla, making it ideal with pork, stews, pizza and pasta dishes. Other inexpensive, good quality South African wines are Durbanville Hills Sau- vignon Blanc (LCBO #22251, $11.95), Flat Roof Manor Pinot Grigio (LCBO #27128, $11.95), Fleur du Cap Chardon- nay (LCBO #358960, $12.95) and Fleur du Cap Cabernet Sauvignon (LCBO #457101, $12.95). All are great with the above mentioned meals. Enjoy. — Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

DURHAM - Betty was a bit (OK, a lot) of a glutton over the holidays - and afterwards - so she reluctantly begged off going out for lunch and dinner early in the new year. However she's back on track and last weekend had a hankering for one of the excellent ethnic food spots in Durham, Ajax's Taste of T and T. Betty has friends in Durham who have Caribbean roots and they all know and rave about the place. The 'Ts' stand for Trinidad and Tobago and, as you can imagine, roti, dou- bles and other treats from the islands are on the menu. But when she visits Taste of T and T there's only one thing for Betty: one pound of jerk chicken. Chicken has never tasted so good; the meat falls off the bone and it's just an explo- sion of flavour. While her nose gets stuffed up halfway through the meal, if you've read previous columns you know that Betty can definitely stand the heat! Even before she digs in, Betty's mouth is watering in antici- pation. It costs $9, and if that's too much food for you, half a pound is $5.25. Sometimes, if Betty isn't watching her wasteline too closely, she'll also get two sahenas, with pepper sauce. A delicious snack, it's a deep-fried fritter with spinach that's simply irre- sistible, especially when fresh. The islands' favourite street food is doubles, eaten at any time of day. It's a kind of sandwich, and in between the flat bread is curried channa (cur- ried chick peas). Also on the menu is aloo pie, a fried dumpling, and pho- lourie, fried, spicy dough balls. These are great options for vegetarians. As for roti, there are roughly 10 varieties, ranging from potato ($6.25) to duck ($9.50). My favourite is and has always been goat. Taste of T and T also has soups, an all-day Caribbean breakfast on weekends and Monday to Friday spe- cials. You can eat in or take out and the restaurant also caters.

Singing out for Canada’s big birthday in Oshawa Photo by David Nairn DURHAM -- Oh, Canada, We Sing for Thee!, an all-Canadian tribute to Canada’s greatest musical artists, comes to Oshawa’s Regent Theatre on May 14, featuring Leisa Way and the Wayward Wind Band. Superb guitarist x two as Matt Andersen, Steve Hill play Regent Theatre DURHAM - One would be more than enough. But two great guitarists are playing Oshawa at the same show. Matt Andersen recently announced that Steve Hill is joining him for a solo acoustic guest set on his March Ontario tour stops. The tour includes a March 23 concert at the Regent Theatre. Andersen, who recently released his ninth album, Honest Man, has a big, soulful voice and his music is rooted in the blues. He's a YouTube sensation who has been called "Canada's greatest guitarist." Hill released Solo Recordings Volume 3 early last year. The year 2016 was a big one for him in the awards department: Hill scooped up a handful of Maple Blues Awards and also took home the Juno Award for Blues Album of the Year. Tickets are $42.50 and at last glance were selling fast. For tickets, visit regenttheatre.ca or call 905-721-3399, ext. 2.

Both exhibitions run to March 26. Human beings can take between 5,000 and 7,500 steps every day and circle the globe 2.5 times during their lifetimes. And yet most people take more care of their cars than their own feet! A human foot is made up of 28 bones, more than 30 joints, and numerous ligaments, nerves, and blood ves- sels. It also contains a network of nerve en dings that affect our en tire body. Indeed, some types of pain are caused by the way we walk. Poor weight distribution on our feet can have a domino effect of pain on the ankles, calves, hips, or back. Basic advice • Because our feet are more often than not wrapped up in socks and shoes, it is very important to buy shoes that take on the shape of the feet whether they are wide, long, or flat. • It is also important to have a good sole when walking long distances and to wear shoes adapted for the sport you are playing, such as for basketball, tennis, soccer, and jogging. • Limit the amount of time you wear high heels, which alter weight distribution and put pressure on the entire muscle and bone struc ture of the body. Keeping feet free of fungal problems requires that they be washed and dried thoroughly every day, and clean socks are an abso lute must. Foot care also involves using moisturi zing creams and giving the feet regular massages in order to release the stresses and strains of everyday life. AwardWinner DENTALOFFICE DR.

Say farewell to rock group Saga in Oshawa DURHAM - Don’t be late for an upcoming show, as you may never have a chance to see this band again. After a long and respected career, Canadian progressive rock band Saga is retiring, and their Final Chapter tour comes to Oshawa’s Regent Theatre on March 10. “For over 35 years, SAGA has led the way in music innovation and audience interaction,” states a press release. The concert is at 8 p.m. and the Regent is at 50 King St. E.

After a period of time when an inju- ry is present, a decision is made wheth- er the player can get off the playing sur- face bearing weight, or if assistance is required. In serious cases, 911 could be called to address a sports injury emer- gency. Who are the people making these decisions for the best interest of the ath- letes? What type of sport or medical training do they have to make the call on what happens? Depending on the sport organization and/or the level of play, a person with trainer/medical certification is pres- ent for the best interests of everyone involved. Some sport organizations state there must be a certified person on site, while other organizations recommend some- one with trainer or medical certification is present, but this is not mandatory. For instance, the Ontario Minor Hockey Association provides a hockey trainer certification program to educate laypeople on the safety, prevention, rec- ognition and management of hockey- related injuries. The course can be com- pleted online and is a good baseline cer- tification for someone on the bench to have at a minor league game. Unfortunately, the majority of other sporting organizations do not have these programs in place to educate laypeople on the management of injuries. More often, recently, many teams bring in outside people with sport-specific first responder training. These first respond- ers assist with medical situations on field and sideline care serving the best inter- ests and well-being of the athletes. This is seen especially in tournament situations where many games are run- ning in a short period of time. First responders are trained in tech- niques for sustaining life, preventing further injury, and caring for illness and injuries until the next level of medical personnel arrives. Many sport-focused manual and medical providers complete this addi- tional training to become a first respond- er as a requirement to help with teams at national and international levels.

The Panthers lost this game 3-0, but snapped a five-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the Lindsay Muskies Sunday. Steven Elliott, Eric Becker and Davis Teigen- Katsumi scored for the Panthers, who are now 9-36-1-2 for the season with six games remaining, including at home Friday against Markham at 7:30 p.m. Durham College volleyball teams both ranked 11th in Canada Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA - Durham College has been serving up some incredible volleyball this season, with both the men's and women's team nationally ranked and eying a trip to the Canadian championships. The women's team, on the surface, would seem to have the better chance at reaching the Canadian Colleges Athlet- ic Association championships, current- ly sporting a perfect 16-0 record in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association. But, the men's team, while 14-2, is ranked in the exact same spot as the women's side, 11th, and has the added advantage of having the CCAA tourna- ment being held in Ontario, hosted by No. 1-ranked Fanshawe, which means two berths are up for grabs this season. The women will need to win their OCAA championship, Feb. 24-26 in Wind- sor, to earn a trip to Victoria for nationals, which means they will need to knock off mighty Humber College, the No. 2-ranked team in Canada and nine-time defending Ontario champion. When asked if that was a realistic goal, Oshawa's Lucia Kalmeyer, a third-year player for the Lords, didn't hesitate in replying. "Hands down it is. This is our year," she said. "Right from the summer, when we did open gyms or what not, I just had a feeling and I'm pretty sure that everyone who made the team had a feeling that this is our year to take down Humber." Durham's most recent OCAA medal came two years ago under first-year coach Tony Clarke, a silver, but the team had a disappointing championship last year and came away empty-handed after a 19-1 regular season. This season, the Lords have won two tournaments, the Sheridan Invitational and their own Adidas Cup, have dropped only seven sets all regular season, and will be looking to complete a perfect 18-0 campaign with games remaining against Canadore (6-10) at home Feb. 12 and Fleming (3-13) in Peterborough Feb. 15. The men's team, coached by George Matsusaki, has dropped only two games this OCAA season, both to the 16-0 Geor- gian Grizzlies, including most recently a five-set thriller Jan. 26 in Oshawa. The game featured the type of play the Lords know to expect at the Feb. 23-25 provincial championships in Hamilton. Hampton’s Erik Janssen, a fourth-year player on the squad, says a strength of the team is its depth, which was in evidence at Niagara Invitational Jan. 6-7, where the Lords swept the Grizzlies in the final to win the gold medal. "What we're trying to do now is have that not be the moment that we peak," said Janssen. "We're trying now to have us peak again, hopefully right around pro- vincials, because when we are firing on all cylinders and everyone is on the same wavelength, it's pretty devastating what we're capable of." The OCAA field is deep, with Fanshawe (1), Mohawk (6) and Georgian (9) all cur- rently ranked ahead of the Lords with two games remaining for most.

ENDOFTHEROLL.COM Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA - The Oshawa Generals sure aren't hurting their cause if the 2018 Memo- rial Cup selection committee has been pay- ing attention to their progress since the bid presentations were made. The Generals have barely skipped a beat since the trade deadline, compiling a 7-3-1- 0 record in 11 games despite shipping star players Anthony Cirelli and Mitchell Vande Sompel to powerhouse teams in the OHL's Western Conference. Although it was presumed the Generals would slip out of contention as a result, they have continued to play extremely well in the weaker Eastern Conference, and regained sole possession of first place with a perfect three-for-three weekend. The Generals moved into a tie with Peter- borough after a 3-2 overtime win over the Petes Saturday, then broke the deadlock with a 4-2 victory over the Hamilton Bulldogs before 5,817 fans at the Tribute Communi- ties Centre on Super Bowl Sunday. While the Generals continue to await word on their Memorial Cup bid for next sea- son, their continued success this season with a young team is a welcome - if not downright surprising - outcome. "I've said all year we would like to finish in the top four to get home ice advantage (in the playoffs)," said Roger Hunt, the team's vice-president and general manager. "Being in first place is fantastic and a credit to the players and the coaches." Indeed, head coach Bob Jones has done a remarkable job in just his second sea- son at the helm, especially considering the team was gutted after winning the 2015 Memorial Cup. With a much younger and thinner ros- ter last season, Jones managed to guide the team to a playoff berth, and even took a game against a stacked Kingston team in the first round. A modest step forward was expected this season, but with a deeper pool of OHL-ready players at his disposal, Jones has had the team in first place throughout much of the season. The tough decision was made at the deadline to focus more on next season and beyond, but still the team continues to win more often than it loses. "I think there's a sense around here that the guys who are here now, it's their team and that's what we want," Hunt explains. "At the end of the day, this is our group moving forward." Perhaps most encouraging of all this past weekend was Saturday's win by 17-year-old goalie Kyle Keyser, who as it stands now will inherit the No. 1 job from Jeremy Brodeur next season. Brodeur, in his final junior season, has been sensational and is perhaps the big- gest reason for where the Generals are right now, sporting a 25-7-1-2 record, a 2.56 goals- against average and .922 save percentage. But Keyser, a prospect for the next NHL draft, was put into the pressure cooker in Peterborough and responded, making 37 saves to earn his fifth win of the season and help move his club back into first place. With 18 games remaining, the Generals (30-15-3-2) lead the Petes (29-16-2-3) by two points in the East Division and the Missis- sauga Steelheads (22-17-6-5) by 10 points in the conference. Up next for the Generals are road games Thursday in Windsor and Friday in Sarnia before returning home Sunday, for a 6:05 p.m. start against North Bay. Oshawa Generals rise back to the top Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Oshawa Generals’ Jack Studnicka couldn’t quite get his stick on a pass against the Hamilton Bulldogs Sunday. Ajax swimmer Ryan Telford takes high point trophy AJAX - Ryan Telford, an 18-year-old Ajax Aquatic Club member, swam to the high point trophy at the Markham Long Course Meet held at the Markham Pan Am pool on Jan. 12 to Jan. 15. Telford took gold in the 100 metre and 200 metre breaststroke, along with the 200 metre and 400 metre individual medley races. The impressive accomplishment fol- lows his gold, silver and three bronze effort at the recent Ontario Junior Inter- national Meet held at the Toronto Pan Am pool, which included many Canadian and international swimmers. Swimming Canada's talent identification is working closely with Telford's coach Andrew Mill- er, grooming Telford as a potential future Olympian. Danika Huizinga, 17, also won gold for the Ajax club, winning the 50 metre but- terfly, while taking silver in the 100 metre backstroke. Like Telford, this was Huizin- ga's first meet back after her record-tying 50 metre butterfly and gold medal at the Ontario Junior International Meet last month. Giselle Gursoy, also 17, swam to two sil- ver medals, in the 200 metre and 800 metre freestyle events and bronze in the 400 metre freestyle. Two 13-year-old club members also won medals, with Matthew Nowak collect- ing a silver medal in the 400 metre individ- ual medley, while Alyssia Betancourt won bronze in the 50 metre butterfly. Catalina Acevedo, Abby Gowland, Maya Harrison and Ethan Harrison also compet- ed for the Ajax Aquatic Club at the meet.

Dunlops show heart WHITBY - The Whitby Dunlops are per- forming well on and off the ice this Allan Cup Hockey season. The senior hockey club opened its dress- ing room to six-year-old Noah Callahan prior to a game against the Hamilton Steelhawks Saturday, Feb. 4 at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre, and it proved to be a win-win. Callahan, who was born not breathing for six minutes and needed surgery to repair his heart at 18 weeks, was greeted with a loud ovation from the players, who then proceed- ed to down the Steelhawks 4-1 on Heart and Stroke Foundation Night. Callahan, now an avid hockey player him- self, was honoured in a pre-game ceremony that saw him leave with a Dunlops hat and hockey stick signed by all the players. The win was a big one in the standings for the Dunlops (14-5-0), who closed to with- in two points of the first-place Stoney Creek Generals (14-4-1) with five games remaining for both, including a head-to-head this Sat- urday in Whitby. Captain Brett McConnachie led the offence with a pair of goals late in the first period and early in the second, as the Dun- lops built a 4-0 lead through two periods Kyle Ventura and Andrew Doyle also scored for the Dunlops, while goalie Jason Guy was sensational in making 30 saves, but lost his shutout with 2:03 remaining.
