One person in custody,
victims treated
for non-life threatening
injuries
PICKERING – A 16-year-old girl is in
custody after a student and a staff mem-
ber were stabbed during a fight Wednes-
day afternoon at Pine Ridge Secondary
School in Pickering.
Officers converged on the Liverpool
Road North school after violence erupt-
ed at about 1:30 p.m. Jan. 17, Durham
police Constable George Tudos said.
The incident began as an alterca-
tion between two 16-year-old girls, he
said.
“One of the 16-year-old girls was
stabbed and sustained non life-threat-
ening injuries,” said Tudos.
A female staff member intervened
and sustained minor injuries for which
she was treated at the scene, Tudos said.
That woman was a member of the school
administration, Durham District School
Board spokesperson Terry Simzer con-
firmed.
A 16-year-old girl has been taken into
custody and is being questioned, Tudos
said. Police haven’t revealed what charg-
es may be laid.
The incident occurred in an open
area near the school entrance. No lock-
down was imposed.
“We had someone in custody pretty
quickly,” said Tudos. “There’s no threat
to the other students at the school.”
Clarification
A Dec. 22 story concerning Pickering
Village United Church in Ajax receiving
federal funding contained unclear infor-
mation. MP Mark Holland’s press release
failed to specify the church was only
receiving a portion of the $90,000 being
awarded to Ajax through the New Hori-
zons program and not the full amount.
The church will receive $24,200 with the
remainder of the $90,000 going to vari-
ous other organizations that support the
needs of seniors throughout Ajax.

sentencing hearing
begins for convicted
murderer Keenan Corner
who shot shabir niazi
to death almost
four years ago
Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The death of Shabir Niazi —
gunned down by his best friend for reasons
that remain unclear — has left a legacy of
grief and loss for the young victim’s family, a
judge heard Monday.
Relatives of the 22-year-old Niazi, who
was shot to death almost four years ago in
Ajax, described the impact of the crime as a
sentencing hearing began for Keenan Cor-
ner, who has been convicted of second-
degree murder in the killing.
“My son was taken from me,” Niazi’s
mother Sadia Niazi said in a statement read
into the record by prosecutor Lara Crawford.
“He was robbed of his life by someone he
considered a friend.”
The shock of Corner’s involvement in the
shooting was compounded by the fact that
in the days after the killing he spread a false
narrative that Niazi died in a drug robbery,
even going to the Niazi home to provide
details, court heard.
“He came into our house the following
day, looked straight into our eyes and lied,”
Sadia Niazi wrote.
Corner, who was convicted by a jury last
November of second-degree murder, faces
an automatic life sentence. Superior Court
Justice Michael McKelvey will set Corner’s
date for parole eligibility after hearing sub-
missions from lawyers in the case. The
Crown is seeking a term of at least 16 years
before Corner can apply for release.
As part of his deliberations the judge will
consider the nature of the killing. During
his trial Corner — who initially told police
Niazi, his longtime friend and partner in a
marijuana-selling enterprise, was shot when
unknown bandits arrived to steal their stash
— changed his story and said he’d shot Niazi
in self-defence. He said Niazi, enraged that
Corner didn’t have his share of the payment
for more dope, pulled the gun on him.
Corner said he gained control of the pis-
tol after a struggle and only fired at his friend
after Niazi picked up a baseball bat and
began swinging it.
Following the shooting, which took place
in a cluttered garage at his home, Corner
rushed to a wooded area about half a kilo-
metre away and hid the gun and ammuni-
tion in snow. He then called 911 and gave
police his phoney story.
A few days later Corner placed a call to
Crime Stoppers, giving evidence that sup-
ported the robbery story, in an effort to mis-
lead police. He was arrested a couple of
weeks after the killing.
Jurors were given two routes to arrive at a
guilty verdict: either they rejected Corner’s
self-defence story outright, or accepted that
there was a struggle and found Corner react-
ed with excessive force. But when the verdict
was announced their rationale for it was not
revealed.
In a ruling released Monday Justice McK-
elvey agreed with the Crown theory that
there was no assault by Niazi prior to the
shooting.
The judge based his finding on physical
evidence that contradicted Corner’s version
of events, including the trajectory of bullets
that struck Niazi, as well as Corner’s lack of
credibility as a witness.
“I have concluded it is dangerous to
accept Mr. Corner’s evidence in the absence
of some corroboration,” he wrote. “Mr. Cor-
ner’s evidence is not credible or reliable.”
In the end, Justice McKelvey wrote, the
reason for the killing of Shabir Niazi by his
longtime friend Keenan Corner remains
unknown.
“The circumstances leading up to the
shooting are known only to Mr. Corner and
Mr. Niazi. Mr. Niazi is no longer alive and
… Mr. Corner’s account of the events in the
garage is not credible.
“I am left only with speculation as to what
might have been the trigger for this deadly
shooting,” the judge wrote.

Pilot project course
features novels, poetry, art
from Indigenous perspective
Jillian Follert
jfollert@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Two Durham high school Eng-
lish classes are doing “small acts of reconciliation
every day” through a new Indigenous literature
pilot project.
Jennifer Henderson, a teacher at Henry Street
High School in Whitby, and Jada Temple, a teacher
at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax, recently
teamed up to create a Grade 11 English class made
up entirely of works by Indigenous authors and
artists.
The pilot course, which is being offered in part-
nership with the Durham District School Board’s
(DDSB’s) Indigenous education department, is a
first for the school board.
“Most of my students had not had much back-
ground information about the treatment of Indig-
enous people,” Henderson says. “The goal, I think,
is to get to the truth of what’s happened in Cana-
da with Indigenous populations, and then to build
mutual respect. We are performing small acts of
reconciliation on a daily basis in our class.”
The course includes novels, short stories, docu-
mentaries, poetry, art and other media reflecting
First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspectives.
Students have had the chance to meet multi-
media artist Jay Soule, also known as Chippewar,
and to have a Skype discussion with author Tracey
Lindberg.
Temple says she was motivated to “kick out the
dead old white guys,” as she affectionately calls
authors like Shakespeare, and start highlighting
authors whose voices are relevant to major discus-
sions happening in Canada today.
“We wanted them to leave our classrooms and
want to make change,” she says.
Temple acknowledges that at first, there was
“a bit of push back,” especially because students
didn’t sign up for the class knowing it would focus
on Indigenous work.
“Some of them wanted to do Shakespeare,
because it’s what they know,” Temple says. “But
now, they are so happy, they feel so much better
informed … and some are angry because they feel
like a lot of history has been hidden.”
Both teachers say the work that had the biggest
impact on their students is Monkey Beach by Eden
Robinson.
The book, which is the first English language
novel to be published by a Haisla writer, is set
in the Kitamaat settlement on the coast of Brit-
ish Columbia and is told from the viewpoint of a
young woman coping with the disappearance of
her brother.
“I have never had a group react to a novel the
way they did,” Temple says.
In addition to studying various works by Indig-
Two Durham teachers create Indigenous literature course
enous artists and writers, the pilot project course includes
discussion on current Indigenous issues and background-
ers on key concepts like treaties.
Henderson says her students have been so affected by
the information that one of them now takes a knee when
the national anthem is played. One of Temple’s students
approached a stranger wearing a Chicago Blackhawks jer-
sey and initiated a conversation about it.
While the pilot project is a first for the DDSB, other
school boards in Ontario are also looking at home to
incorporate Indigenous courses.
The Lambton Kent District School Board first intro-
duced an Indigenous literature course in 2000 and made
it compulsory for Grade 11 students starting this school
year, while the Greater Essex County District School Board
offers an optional Indigenous English course and the
Niagara Catholic District School Board offers a Grade 9
and Grade 10 Aboriginal arts course and a Contemporary
Aboriginal Voices Grade 11 English course.
The province has also announced plans to revise the
Ontario curriculum to include more Indigenous content
in courses such as history, social studies and geography.
Revisions started this school year and will be fully
implemented by fall 2018.
Henderson and Temple say they both hope to teach the
Indigenous literature course again, and would like to see it
expand to other DDSB schools.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Resident wants more
bang for his buck with
regards to government
retirement benefits
To the editor:
I and thousands of Canadian seniors
have tolerated for years our government’s
policy limiting the amount of money we
receive once we retire despite all the outra-
geous taxes we pay.
Personally I encourage any senior in
this so called ‘Promised Land’ if possible,
to make as much money under the table
as they can without declaring the extra
income. Perhaps they can invest it in the
pot/drug business like our government
and ex-Toronto police chief Julian Fantino
has done. But then again they’ll be paying
tax on their income. Nothing like getting a
big ‘buzz’ for your ‘buck’.
Jerry Newton
Oshawa
Police officers are called upon daily to deal
with bad situations. More often than not they
are able to resolve the incidents. Sometimes
warnings will be issued, other times fines or
arrests will be made. Every situation is differ-
ent.
Increasingly though officers are confront-
ed with more complicated issues dealing with
mental health crises that put both the pub-
lic and officers’ safety at risk. Such was the
case when Ajax resident Michael MacIsaac
was fatally shot by police five years ago. The
47-year-old man was shot and killed by Const.
Brian Taylor while MacIsaac was naked on an
Ajax street in December 2013. Police said he
was advancing with a table leg. MacIsaac’s
family believes he was suffering from the
effects of an epileptic seizure earlier that day.
Out of this tragic event non-binding jury
recommendations were put forward stem-
ming from the coroner’s inquest last year
into MacIsaac’s death. On Monday Durham
Regional Police Service said the force intends
to establish a standing committee on mental
health.
Durham police spokesperson Dave Selby
said the committee would include repre-
sentatives from the mental health commu-
nity, including experts and people with lived
experiences of mental health issues, and
would advise police on policies and training.
A senior officer will be assigned to the group.
MacIsaac’s sister Joanne MacIsaac said she
wants to be on the standing committee once
it’s set up. Considering what the MacIsaac
family has been through we’re sure she fits the
‘lived experiences’ criteria.
The 25 jury recommendations directed at
the police board and police service, included
training officers “in strategies to disarm sub-
jects possessing weapons of opportunity” and
emphasizing “the need to create time and
space during police interactions with individ-
uals in crisis.”
In response to the inquest recommen-
dations a partnership was formed last year
with several universities and other agencies
“to look at frameworks and ways to improve
enhancing education and training methods
for police officers.”
While inquest recommendations are non-
binding it’s good to see Durham Regional
Police Service has acted in a responsible way
and is trying to be better when it comes to
dealing with people in mental health crises.
This will not only help people in distress but
will aid in the safety of our officers called upon
to deal with these types of situations.
We are also encouraged by the formation
of its standing committee on mental health
and believe following the jury’s recommenda-
tions on mental health education and training
is the right way to go.
OUR VIEW
DRPS taking
positive steps in
dealing with mental
health crises
cOLUmn
I may be in the market for a new set of
wheels soon. And, while the sheer num-
ber of different makes and models is stag-
gering, what really raises my eyebrows
are the names.
Automobile marketing departments spend
countless hours and millions of dollars com-
ing up with the names of new vehicles. A job
that, I am certain, as time goes on, becomes
more and more difficult. After all, most of the
really good names for cars were taken years
ago. Everyone remembers Mustangs, Cor-
vettes and Chargers. But, years from now,
when people hear the word Paseo or Alero,
they’re going to wonder if you’re talking about
a foreign currency or some weird childhood
disease.
“How are things, Madge?”
“Oh, the kids have got Paseo … they’re
scratching like chickens.”
Naming new vehicles is a tough gig. So I
guess we shouldn’t exactly be surprised when
we sometimes see these folks reaching a bit.
Who, for instance, thought ‘Avalanche’ was
a hot property? What could possibly compel
you to name a vehicle, something you’d trans-
port your children in, after a natural disaster?
Would you buy a Chevy Mudslide? A Ford
Flashflood? How about a Dodge Ebola? With
that kind of brilliant thinking, I don’t think
it’s beyond the realm that we almost saw the
Hyundai Hiroshima and the Chrysler Titanic
on the showroom floor.
And of course, the Probe is in a whole other
category by itself. Makes you wonder what the
runner-up names were that year? The Digital?
The Spinal Tap? The Chevy Smear?
It’s nuts. Sometimes you’d swear they were
simply making the names up. Just slamming
consonants and vowels together and seeing if
folks bought it. How else to explain such zing-
ers as the ‘Lagonda’, ‘Mulsanne’ and even the
‘Prius’? What the heck is a Prius anyway? It
looks like a typo. In fact, that may as well be a
new car name. The Toyota Typo.
Carmakers, you’ll notice, look to the natu-
ral world very often when naming vehicles.
But more often than not they go with ridicu-
lously macho names; Grizzly, Bronco and
Ram. What’s wrong with the Chevy Chip-
munk? Those little guys never stop moving.
Or the Mercury Cockroach? There’s nothing
tougher than a cockroach. I’d drive a roach.
Those things can survive a nuclear holocaust.
Of course, maybe we in North America
should count ourselves lucky when it comes
to weird handles for cars. The rest of the world
has some real beauties. In Europe and Asia,
Nissan and Mazda both have pickups called,
respectively, the Light Dump and the Titan
Dump. I’m serious. Buy either of one those
and I’m pretty sure they throw in a free Probe.

OPINION
Cooper’s hawks
out and about
looking for their
next meal
The Great Outdoors
Margaret Carney
So swift you can blink and
miss them as they flash
by. A Cooper’s hawk fly-
ing on target for its dinner
is poetry in motion, and like all
good hunters, its tactic is surprise.
Surprise for any hapless pigeon
or mourning dove that may be in
its sights, and for any human who
happens to be glancing out the
window.
“My backyard was visited by
a Cooper’s hawk just after New
Year’s,” Lorraine Buckingham of
Whitby told me in an email. “He sat
on the fence for more than half an
hour eating the remains of a black
bird. I was able to get lots of photos
while he ate every speck of it.”
Lorraine sent me one of the pic-
tures of the magnificent bird “man-
tling” its prey, slate grey wings
arched, finely barred rust-and-
white chest feathers fluffed up,
yellow feet clutching the remains
of the European starling it had
captured. You could see its white
undertail coverts and banded tail,
and even its red eye — all field
marks of an adult Cooper’s hawk.
Several readers have told me
about raptors they’ve noticed
cruising by their feeders since
winter settled in. Graham Rob-
ertson reported seeing three dif-
ferent sized hawks at his place in
Clarington. For sure, the medium,
crow-sized one would be Cooper’s
hawk, probably the most common
throughout Durham in winter.
That wasn’t always the case.
Some farmers in years past would
try to shoot any hawk on sight,
fearing it was after their chickens.
Cooper’s hawks go for prey smaller
than they are, so they weren’t the
culprits but were largely wiped out
anyway. Ironically, they weren’t
named after the naturalist who first
described the species, but by the
man who collected — IE, shot —
the specimen, in 1828.
Laws to protect migratory birds in the last
century and the banning of the pesticide DDT
have allowed Cooper’s hawks populations to
rebound in their traditional range, from south-
ern Canada to Mexico. And in the past 10 to 20
years they’ve been expanding from forests and
woodland edges into urban areas, proving smart
enough and resilient enough to adapt to massive
changes humans are making in the land and the
environment.
Cooper’s hawks usually fly with a few stiff
wingbeats, then a glide. Their broad, rounded
wings and long tail have evolved from dashing
through dense woodland vegetation after fleeing
birds. Their binocular vision is four times sharp-
er than ours, and like all hunters, their eyes face
forward on their head, so they can focus as they
dive after their prey.

Denise Czop, a 40-year-old
mother of two from Oshawa was
the subject of Living with Cancer,
a monthly feature series launched
by Metroland Media Group’s Dur-
ham Region Division in October
2011. Her strength and positive
attitude during a long battle with
cancer inspired many readers and
resulted in the publication of an
ebook, 86,400 Seconds, in 2013.
Five years after Czop’s death, her
children, Brittni and Courtney
Czop, and their grandparents,
Rosemary and Don Doucett, recall
the impact she had on their lives.
Rosemary and Don
Doucett have been
through more “firsts”
than the average parents.
In 2013, decades after raising
their own children to adulthood,
the Oshawa couple embarked
on a new, yet familiar chapter
when their 41-year-old daughter,
Denise died following a long bat-
tle with cancer. Already in their
senior years by then, the Doucetts
stepped in as guardians of their
teenaged granddaughters, Brittni
and Courtney.
Over the past five years, they say
they’ve experienced many mile-
stones they thought were long
behind them — from watching
the girls graduate high school and
helping them choose post-second-
ary paths, to meeting their poten-
tial love interests and even cringing
at their first tattoos.
“It’s like re-living. It was a natu-
ral progression when you had your
own children — this was life and
you progressed through it. But the
second time around, it just seems
so different and so kind of foreign
that they should be doing this and
that they’re growing up,” says Rose-
mary, scrunched up on a couch
with “Britt,” who just turned 21 and
“Court,” who will be 20 soon.
“Nans, let’s be honest, it makes
you feel old,” pipes up Brittni, still
the more chatty of the two, in her
trademark matter-of-fact tone.
Rosemary and Don exchange
smiles as Courtney nudges her
sister gently. Some things never
change.
In October 2011, Denise Czop
was a single mother working as a
supply education assistant in Dur-
ham schools when she agreed to be
the subject of Living with Cancer, a
feature series about one woman’s
experience living each day in can-
cer’s ominous shadow. Initially
diagnosed with breast cancer in
2005, Czop had undergone various
treatments, including a mastecto-
my (surgery to remove the breast),
chemotherapy and radiation, and
come out on the other side stron-
ger than ever. In 2009, her worst
fear came true when she learned
that the cancer had returned and
this time, it had spread to other
organs, rendering it inoperable
and incurable.
Despite her grim reality, Czop
decided not to wallow in self-pity
and instead poured all her ener-
gy into making the most of her
remaining days, while at the same
time striving to inspire others to do
the same. During the course of the
monthly series, readers were given
a glimpse into different facets of
her routine, including hospital vis-
its to manage the illness, crossing
items off her bucket list, and final-
ly, coming to terms with her fate by
planning her own funeral. She died
on Jan. 19, 2013. Hundreds of peo-
ple packed into St. Peter’s Anglican
Church in Oshawa five days later to
celebrate her life.
“It doesn’t seem possible it’s
been five years,” says Rosemary,
glancing over at the two young
women who she says remind her of
her daughter every day.
“They’ve done so much, and
they’ve experienced a lot in their
lives — probably more than a lot of
older people.”
Between school, placements,
jobs and boyfriends, these days
their house is like a revolving door,
she says. Both girls are currently
enrolled in the School of Health
and Community Services at Dur-
ham College — Brittni is in her last
year in the developmental service
worker program, and Courtney is
working her way through the social
service worker program.
Brittni has three jobs and also
volunteers with Sunrise Youth
Group, a non-profit organization
that provides recreational and life
skills programming to people with
special needs. Eventually, she says
she “would love to work with chil-
dren.” Courtney is completing a
placement at a shelter for abused
women, she has run a harm
reduction program through the
Aids Committee of Durham, and
dreams of becoming a police offi-
cer to “make a difference,” she says.
“I think it’s wonderful. The
careers they’ve chosen are so in
touch with who Denise was,” says
Rosemary, who herself volun-
teers three times a week at Feed
the Need in Durham — a cause
near and dear to Denise’s heart.
“That was her go-to place. It was
her opportunity to give back to the
community because people had
been so good to her.”
The family says they still feel
Denise’s presence “big time”
around the house. Don, who’s had
health issues in the past and has
been warned not to overexert him-
self, says the horn on their family
van started honking suddenly one
day while he was shovelling snow
in front of their home.
“Nobody was in the van; the
keys were in the house and I
was outside. I looked up at the
van and all I heard (in my head)
was Denise’s voice saying, ‘You
dumbass father, you know you’re
not supposed to shovel snow,’” he
laughs. That’s what Denise would
jokingly call anyone — including
herself — who felt sorry for them-
selves.
“She’d say, ‘Suck it up, move on
with your life’,” says Brittni, admit-
ting she often adopts the same
tough love approach. The girls
say that their mother’s positive
example has helped them over-
come personal issues but it’s not
always easy, especially without her
around. Rosemary says she recent-
ly took Courtney to the hospital
because she wasn’t feeling well
and she fainted shortly after having
blood drawn.
“Court passed out in the wash-
room on the floor, and I finally get
in there and she looks at me and all
she says is, ‘I want my mommy.’

That was a hard one,” she
recalls.
“Those are the times she’d be
there for them,” says Don.
Last May, the girls spent two
weeks backpacking in Europe,
bouncing from one adventure
to the next, including skydiving
in Switzerland. Brittni describes
it as “the scariest thing” in her
whole life. “Our mom had wanted
to do it,” adds Courtney. Denise
decided against it after the chemo
caused fluid to build up in her
legs because she was worried
about what might happen if there
was a bad landing.
For Rosemary, the best part
was hearing that Brittni had the
title of the Tim McGraw song,
Live Like You Were Dying, written
on her hands when she jumped.
“That was Denise’s favourite
song,” she says.
Further following in their
mother’s footsteps, the girls got
matching tattoos on their arms
that read “I love you more” in
Denise’s handwriting, taken from
letters she wrote to them short-
ly before she died. Denise had a
breast cancer angel tattooed on
her shoulder the day before she
was re-diagnosed.
They have so many fond mem-
ories with their mother to get
them through rough patches,
says Rosemary, as well as a strong
support system.
“We needed them and they
needed us, so it just worked out
perfectly,” she says, adding that
Denise’s message to always live
life to the fullest still resonates.
“She’s left them a wonderful
legacy and we’re so fortunate that
they’re carrying it on.”

Notice of Public Engagement
Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements
Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is upgrading its commuter rail system into
Regional Express Rail. The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is now home to nearly
seven million people and heading towards 10 million by 2041. To address the urgent transit needs
of the GTHA, the Province of Ontario committed to implement Regional Express Rail and make
other improvements to the GO system. By 2025, electrified trains will be running every 15 minutes
or better, all day and in both directions, within the most heavily travelled sections of the GO
network.
The Project
On November 30, 2017 Metrolinx initiated the Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements
Project to evaluate the proposed addition of tracks at the existing Lincolnville Layover and GO
Station site. The existing layover tracks will be used with the proposed tracks to maintain and
store trains when they are not in service. As part of the Project, Metrolinx will:
• review the potential effects of the Project on the existing natural, physical, social, and cultural
environments;
• present mitigation measures to manage the potential effects during construction of the project
as well as during postconstruction operations; and,
• consider the need for upgrades and possible relocation of the existing GO Station passenger
facilities currently located at the Lincolnville Layover and GO Station site.
This Project is being undertaken in support of the improved service on the Stouffville Rail Corridor.
Project Location
The Lincolnville Layover and GO Station site is located at 6840 Bethesda Road and 13190
York-Durham Line, in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
The Process
Metrolinx is assessing the environmental impacts of the
Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements Project
in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process
(TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit
Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings (made under the
Environmental Assessment Act).
As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report
(EPR) is being prepared and will be filed documenting any
potential environmental effects and mitigation requirements
of the Project. Viewing locations for the agency and
public review of the EPR will be published in the Notice of
Completion.
All information produced as part of this project is available
at Metrolinx.com/Lincolnville
Consultation
We thank everyone for their feedback to date.
Metrolinx is hosting an online survey for the Lincolnville Layover and GO Station Improvements
Project to provide you with an opportunity to offer further feedback. A copy of the draft
environmental studies, and a presentation summarizing the project, environmental effects, and
proposed mitigation measures is available at Metrolinx.com/Lincolnville, for review prior to
completing the survey.
Online engagement will be open from Thursday January 18 to Friday February 2, 2018.

DURHAM — International opera star
Maija Kovalevska is making her Cana-
dian debut at Oshawa’s Regent Theatre.
Kovalevska is the special guest at the
Ontario Philharmonic’s (OP) Jan. 27
concert and will be featured in the per-
formance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4
in G major.
“It is a true pleasure and honour to be
presenting my great colleague Maija
and her fantastic vocal artistry to a
Canadian audience for the first time,”
says OP music director Marco Parisot-
to of Ajax. “She possesses a grand and
rare talent. She is someone with whom
I have worked on several occasions on
the operatic stage and I am thrilled to
be sharing performances with her here
in Canada.”
Kovalevska says she is eager to per-
form here.
“I am excited and looking forward
very much to performing in Canada
for the first time with Ontario Philhar-
monic and Marco Parisotto,” she says.
“I cannot describe in words how happy
I am about our fruitful collaboration.
Mahler’s Celestial Symphony leads us
to another dimension.”
Born in Riga, Latvia, Kovalevska
became known around the world in
2006 after winning the Operalia singing
competition.
Also on the Jan. 27 program are works
by Massenet and Tchaikovsky.
Tickets are $45 or $56, available online
at regenttheatre.ca, in person at the box
office, 50 King St. E. or by calling 905-

DURHAM -- International opera star Maija Kovalevska makes her Canadian
debut with the Ontario Philharmonic on Jan. 27 at Oshawa’s Regent Theatre.
DURHAM — Popular act Absolute
Journey Tribute is coming to Ajax to
deliver beloved songs such as Who’s
Cryin’ Now and Don’t Stop Believin’.
The Journey tribute band features
vocalist Riccardo Curzi, Paul Mulley on
guitar, Adrian Ellis on bass, Jeff Vidov on
keyboard and Derek Babanin on drums.
“Formed in Toronto in early 2014, the
quintet proposes a faithful reproduction
of the Steve Perry era of the San Francis-
co act, enriched with audience interac-
tivity, projections, backdrops and true-
to-the-original costume changes,” it says
on the band’s website. “Absolute Jour-
ney Tribute doesn’t aim to be a plain
carbon copy of the real thing: every
effort on stage, from singing and playing
to the moves, is so natural and heartfelt
that it captivates even the most skeptical
critic. Seeing is believing.”
The show is on Jan. 27 at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $35 and available at the St.
Francis Centre Box Office at 78 Church
St. S., the Ajax and McLean community
centres, the Audley Recreation Centre or
online at stfranciscentre.ca.

WHAT’S ON
Durham Shoestring
Performers presents
second play of season
DURHAM — An Oshawa’s theatre group’s
second production of the season is a con-
temporary drama.
Durham Shoestring Performers (DSP)
presents Sharr White’s The Other Place at
the Arts Resource Centre from Jan. 19 to 27.
“Juliana Smithton is a successful scien-
tist whose life should be soaring as a new
drug she has developed is ready for pub-
lic release, but suddenly things take a
bad turn,” says DSP artistic director Car-
olyn Wilson. “Juliana becomes sure that
her husband, Ian, is filing for divorce, her
research assistant has run off with her
daughter and, to top it off, she has brain
cancer ... possibly. Or is everything not
quite as clear as she thinks? Juliana tries
to navigate through shards of memory in a
brave attempt to maintain the sense of self
she knows is slipping away, but in the end
she can’t escape the truth that is far more
challenging than she suspected. As Ian and
Juliana come to understand, reality proves
both less and more kind than they could
ever have imagined.”
The Other Place features Nancy Gleed of
Whitby as Juliana Smithton, Ross Libbey
of Courtice as Ian, and Lyndsay Hamilton
(Oshawa) and Jesse Korneiew (Courtice)

What to do in the event of an accident
ADVERTISING FEATURE
Staying calm when you’re involved in a car acci-
dent is never easy. It is far easier to handle the
situation if you know exactly what to do. Here are
the steps to take in the event of an accident —
this is a short guide that you can keep in your
glove compartment so you won’t forget anything of
importance in the stress of the moment.
• If you are involved in an accident, however minor it may be, you are legally required to pull over. If you don’t,
you could be charged with leaving the scene of an accident, commonly known as hit and run.
• If there are injuries or signifi cant damage, or if you believe that one of the drivers involved has violated the
Criminal Code (if you suspect drunk driving, for example), you
should call the police.
• If possible, move your vehicle out of traffi c. Otherwise, turn
on your hazard lights or use fl ares to be clearly visible to other
drivers.
• You must share the following information with the other
drivers involved: name, address, driver’s licence number,
registration number, and information related to your insur-
ance. If the damaged vehicle does not belong to the driver,
you should also get the name and address of the owner.
• While waiting for the police, make a sketch or take a photo
of the scene of the accident. Note the position of the cars and
the direction in which they were travelling.

3 Questions to Help You Decide
Between an RRSP and TFSA
Let’s start by giving you a high five
because whether you put your
money in an RRSP or TFSA, your
future is already looking brighter.
In case you need it, here’s a refresher
on the basic differences between RRSP
and TFSA.
RRSPs
Tax-deductible:Contributions reduce
the personal income tax you pay.
Tax-sheltered:Investment income in
an RRSP are not taxed.
Tax-deferred:Money inside an RRSP
is not taxed until withdrawn.
TFSAs
Non-tax deductible:Contributions do
not reduce your personal income tax.
Tax-sheltered:Investment income
inside a TFSA is not taxed.
Tax-free:Money taken out of a TFSA
are not taxed.
Here are the 3 questions:
Q1.What’s your goal?
Saving for a short-term goal?
A TFSA may be better choice
because withdrawals are not taxed.
Buying your first home? Consider
saving your money in an RRSP to
use the First-Time-Home-Buyer Plan
(HBP). Once your RRSP reaches
$25,000 (the limit you can withdraw
under the HBP tax-free), redirect
savings to a TFSA. This way, you can
withdraw $25,000 from your RRSP
and additional savings from TFSA
also tax-free for your new home.
Remember:HBP withdrawals need
to be returned to your RRSP over a
maximum of 15 years.
Ifyour goalis long-term,saysavingfor
retirement,an RRSPisstillagoodoption.
Q2.Are you in a high or low
tax bracket?
RRSP contributions lower the income
you pay tax on. When your income
goes up, so does your personal tax rate.
So, if you’re in a higher tax bracket,
consider putting your money into an
RRSP to reduce taxes.
If you’re in a low tax bracket but think
you will be earning more in the future,
consider parking your money in a
TFSA. In the meantime, carry-forward
your RRSP contribution room into
the future when you get into a higher
tax bracket. Then use your TFSA
savings to make a sizeable RRSP
contribution to reduce the tax you pay.
When you Increase your RRSP
contribution amount, you can also
boost your income tax refund, which
can be used to pay off debt.
Q.Will you get a big pension?
TFSA withdrawals are not considered
income and are not taxed as a result.
In retirement, if you have a high
income, you may lose or become
ineligible forsomefederal income-tested
benefits such as Old Age Security
benefit (OAS). To provide
perspective, the OAS clawback
threshold for 2017 is $74,788. Any
income above this threshold reduces
the benefit you can get.
If you expect a big pension, put some
savings into a TFSA to keep your
taxable income low so you don’t risk
losing some government benefits.
These are a few tips to help you decide.
Your decision will depend on your
financial circumstances.

OPiniOn
Been there,
done that,
still doing it
One of my colleagues frequently uses
the phrase “been there, done that, still
doing it”, when referring to his expertise
and breadth of work. Allow me to bor-
row it.
1. Been there: I’ve spent 36 years as
a strength and conditioning coach pri-
marily in the NHL (mainly the Detroit
Red Wings) and with countless national
and Olympic team members/medallists
from several disciplines and from coun-
tries as far away as New Zealand.
2. Done that: I have often done
things really well, but with much humil-
ity let me say that I have also made a
right royal mess of things on more than
one occasion and so my learning curve
is never-ending.
3. Still doing it: I am so blessed with
the opportunity to go out everyday and
do things right, treat people right and
hopefully leave this place and the peo-
ple who I have the privilege of serving in
a better place.
I have never been one for New Year’s
resolutions. I have always learned that if
you want or need to get something done
then now is a good time to start.
So, here is my challenge to parents:
starting right now, if you truly want to
help your child be successful in any-
thing, resolve to stay behind the fence.
Let the coaches do the coaching. This
means during games, practices, training
sessions, car rides, dinner time — you
name it — your only job is to be your
child’s biggest supporter.
Drive them, feed them and cheer.
No matter what, tell them how proud of
them you are and never teach, coach or
criticize.
Your main job is to develop self-
esteem and self-confidence in your
child. Probably the single biggest dif-
ferentiator that I see in all of my best
athletes is an extremely well developed
and honest sense of self.
Here is a link for “66 positive things
to say to your child” to help you get
started: www.foragingforflavor.com/66-
positive-things-to-say-to-your-child/.
Until next time, remember, “you
can’t fake strong”.

life coach and a strength and conditioning coach.

WHITBY — Whitby Fury’s Dylan Latty and Pickering Panthers’ Mitchell Doyle battled for the puck in Ontario Junior Hockey
League action at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. The Fury won 4-2.
Fury tie series 2-2
WHITBY — The Whitby Fury kept
alive their hopes of both earning a play-
off spot in the Ontario Junior Hock-
ey League (OJHL) and winning the
Bollocks Cup after a 4-2 win over the
Pickering Panthers in a rare Tuesday
afternoon game Jan. 16 at the Iroquois
Park Sports Centre.
In fact, with one will go the other.
The two Durham Region rivals cre-
ated a new challenge this season, spon-
sored by the Bollocks pubs in Whitby
and Pickering, whereby the winner of
the four-game regular season series
would be awarded a trophy.
With each team having now won
twice, it’s been determined that which-
ever team earns the eighth and final
playoff spot in the OJHL’s North East
Conference will also claim the Cup.
The Fury (14-23-4-1) have made
up some ground of late in that regard
and now sit only two points back of
the eighth-place Panthers (16-21-1-2),
who do, however, have two games still
in hand thanks to a pair of recent post-
poned games.
Patrick Demaio assisted on all four
goals for the Fury, who jumped out to
a 3-1 first-period lead and put the game
away with an empty-net goal in the final
minute.
“It was really a four-point game
against the Pickering Panthers and I
thought we played very well,” said Fury
head coach Rob Pearson. “I thought it
was great that we could bounce back
and we tied the Bollocks Cup 2-2, so
now it’s a fight for the playoffs.”
Shane Bull finished off a three-point
game with the empty-netter, while
Amedeo Mastrangeli, Liam Robertson
and captain Matt Latin also scored for
Whitby.
Joseph Franzin and Andrew Hughes
replied for Pickering, the latter coming
with 2:04 remaining to set up an inter-
esting finish.
Alex Horawski made 24 saves for his
first win in four games with the Fury.
He had played previously this season
with Pembroke of the Central Canada
Hockey League and Surrey of the British
Columbia Hockey League.
Ethan Langevin, who’s from Brook-
lin, stopped 25 of 28 in net for the Pan-
thers.
Pickering has 14 left to play, includ-
ing home dates Friday against Buffalo
(23-15-0-2) and Saturday against Milton
(2-36-0-2), both at 7:30 p.m.
DURHAM — Durham Region’s
Olympic contingent is growing for the
2018 Games in Pyeongchang, South
Korea.
The Canadian men’s hockey team
was officially announced Thursday, Jan.
11, and included Bowmanville’s Chris
Kelly and former Oshawa Generals
forward Christian Thomas among the
players, as well as Whitby’s Bryan Boyes
and Adam Foote on the staff.
A day earlier, Oshawa’s Ben Donnel-
ly was selected to compete in long track

1/2 PRICE DAY • SAT. JAN. 27
th
AJAX — Ray Nieminen of the Ajax
Knights novice AA team was named coach
of the month for December by the Ontario
Minor Hockey Association.
Nieminen started coaching 18 years ago
as an assistant on his son’s house league
team, becoming the head coach in his
minor bantam year. He is now the head
coach of his youngest son’s team, the nov-
ice AA Knights, who carried a 13-9-1 Lake-
shore League record into the new year.
“Coach Ray is fantastic with the kids, he's
able to push them to work very hard while
always finding the way to joke with them
and make them smile,” nomination com-
ments read on the Ontario Minor Hockey
Association (OMHA) website. “With tre-
mendous patience and countless hours
of positive reinforcement, he's developing
young athletes who love the game of hockey
as much as each other's company.
“On Ray's team, no one is above anyone
else and teamwork always receives more
praise than individual plays,” it continues.
“Ray's team is a family, where siblings are
welcome to join practices and never for-
gotten during team parties. While always
very humble, coach Ray is making a big
impact in his community and I feel very
fortunate to have my eight-year-old son
playing on his team.”
Nieminen credited his team's coaching,
administrative staff and team manager for
helping lead to his team's success on the ice.
Asked what makes a good coach on the
OMHA website, Nieminen replied: “You
have to listen to everybody. I go to coach-
es clinics. You always have to keep learn-
ing. The game is changing. You can’t stand
in front of the net anymore for two and a
half minutes. It’s more of a speed game,
short shifts. Definitely learning from a lot
of other people.
“I’m a lot different of a coach now than
I was 15 years ago,” he added. “I kind of
fine-tune how I think the game should be
played, in my mind. There’s no right or
wrong way. Every coach has their way, and
it’s my job to motivate my kids to play my
way. I’m not saying it’s the best way, it’s just
that’s all I know and what I think works the
best. You can tell, if they have smiles on
their faces, you know you’re doing some-
thing right.”

Winning goal gift-wrapped
for Generals' Serron Noel
OSHAWA — Serron Noel doesn’t miss too
many scoring opportunities to begin with, so
he sure wasn’t about to muff the chance pre-
sented to him Sunday at the Tribute Com-
munities Centre.
Noel, whose 25.4 shooting percentage is
top five in the Ontario Hockey League, was
in the right place at the right time for the
Oshawa Generals, putting home a fortunate
bounce off the end boards for the game’s first
goal in what would become a 3-0 win over
the Kingston Frontenacs.
With Kingston goalie Jeremy Helvig head-
ed behind the net to play the puck where he
presumed it would go, Noel had a yawning
cage after a clear-in by Renars Krastenbergs
instead bounced right into the slot.
In a tight game kept scoreless through two
periods by Helvig and Oshawa’s Kyle Keyser,
Noel’s 17th goal of the season 2:31 into the
third proved to be the difference.
Keyser was brilliant for Oshawa, stopping
34 shots to record his second OHL shutout
— and second of 2018 — and improve his
season record to 15-7-2-0, including 8-2-1-0
since returning from injury.
