PICKERING - A pair of guys
and their friends have been mak-
ing an environmental impact in
Pickering, although their parents
might be a bit miffed.
Sam Demma and Dillon
Mendes started PickWaste last
year and in the process, they've
filled about 650 bags with trash
they've collected.
This weekend, they're going to
show off their collecting accom-
plishments, while trying to raise
awareness about pollution and lit-
tering.
Demma said the initiative
started when he was in Grade 12.
"I had a pivotal high school
teacher for world issues. He said if
you had a desire to change the
world, do small, consistent ac-
tions," he said.
So, on his way home from
school one day, he started to pick
up garbage. His friend Dillon
Mendes "saw me and he started
laughing."
"I had a passion for the envi-
ronment. I thought 'Let's do a

this pile, a portion of what has been collected in the past four months. The friends are having an awareness day on

litter that has been tossed on the ground.

PICKERING - A woman
charged in the 2015 killing
of a Pickering senior has
pleaded guilty to man-
slaughter.
Anesa Zalena Satar fac-
es sentencing in October,
according to court records.
She pleaded guilty Aug. 9 to
manslaughter in the death
of 80-year-old John P. Mur-
ray.
The senior's body was
found in Satar's Memory
Lane home by Durham po-
lice officers responding to
a call on the evening of
Sept. 1, 2015. Satar, 49, was
charged with second-de-
gree murder and has been
in custody since her arrest.
The incident came as a
shock to residents of the
neighbourhood, some of
whom described Murray as
a longtime resident of the
area. He was often seen
walking in the neighbour-
hood and stopped frequent-
ly to talk with residents,
sometimes handing out
pamphlets with a Chris-
tian theme.
Days before he was
killed, Murray, who lived
near Satar's residence in a
building on Everton Street,
helped Satar obtain release
on bail. On Aug. 28, 2015, he
agreed to act as Satar's
surety, pledging $10,000
bail, according to court re-
cords.
At that time Satar was
in custody for attacking a
person with a pair of scis-
sors and faced charges in-
cluding assault with a
weapon and assault caus-
ing bodily harm.
A sentencing hearing is
scheduled for Oct. 22 on Sa-
tar's manslaughter convic-
tion.

cleanup'," Demma added.
In addition to cleaning
up around the city, "we've
raised a ton of awareness.
Awareness is great, but
there needs to be a change, a
change in action," Demma
stated.
The filled garbage bags
been kept in Demma's and
Mendes's backyards and
both laugh when saying
their parents aren't
pleased.
"We back onto a forest
and I cover it up with tarp.
They're happy it will be
gone in a week or two,"
Demma quipped.
As for Mendes's parents
and the trash in bags in the
backyard, he slowly said,
"They are fed up. My par-
ents aren't too happy."
Demma said the bags are
"a visual cue to look at all
the trash."
They started PickWaste
and with the help of friends,
they've held weekly pick-
ups around Pickering.
This Saturday, Aug. 18,
they're holding an aware-
ness day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.
at St. Mary Catholic Sec-
ondary School, on Whites
Road south of Finch Ave-
nue. More than 100 people
are expected to attend.
Following the cleanup,
there will be a short cere-
mony with speeches, in-
cluding one by Pickering
Mayor Dave Ryan, Demma
noted.
He'll be attending the
University of Toronto Scar-
borough campus in Sep-
tember, studying environ-
mental sciences and politi-
cal science.
Mendes will be starting
his second year at Universi-
ty of Waterloo, where his
majoring in finance and ac-
counting, with a minor in
environment studies.
Both Demma and
Mendes were recently
named one of Top 25 under
25 Environmentalists by
Starfish Canada, an organi-
zation that focuses on solu-
tion-based stories with
youth-based initiatives.
"We were lucky enough
to get it," Mendes said.
"In Grade 12, I found my-
self constantly following
the status quo. I was doing
what everyone did. Every-
one wants to get into a good
university or college. I
worked hard to get into a
competitive school. What I
was following was interest-
ing and not a passion,"
Mendes said.
His passion started
when he saw Demma pick-
ing up garbage.
"It's so simple because
garbage is everywhere,"
Mendes said. "Small change
can lead to big actions. It
started on July 1, 2017."
Since then, in addition to
all the trash they've collect-
ed, they've spoken in front
of about 25 large groups.
"It stems from our pas-
sion. We're empowering
people to find their pas-
sion," Mendes said. "We
want to unleash everyone's
passion," adding it doesn't
matter what someone was
focusing on.
Those small changes
will lead to massive chang-
es, he added.
"My passion is sustaina-
bility," he said.
He has an internship
with Deloitte, in its risk ad-
visory area. His focus will
be on how clients can be
more sustainable.

DURHAM - While some
Ontario craft breweries are
hopping mad over Premier
Doug Ford's newly an-
nounced buck-a-beer plan,
others are simply shrug-
ging their shoulders and
staying out of it.
Mark Woitzik, co-owner
of Brock Street Brewing
Co, in Whitby, described
the plan as a "great vote-
buying mechanism" that's
unrealistic with the rising
cost of beer production.
"It's easy to make a
promise to deliver a policy
that brewers may or may
not be able to implement
anyway," he said.
"Since 2008, the taxes
that the government charg-
es on beer have steadily ris-
en, the grain cost has gone
up, labour cost has gone up
-so for a craft brewer, it's
impossible to make a 341-
millilitre (beer) for a dollar
because craft brewers use
all-natural ingredients."
The main ingredients
used in craft beer are bar-
ley, water, hops and yeast,
but larger brewers add rice
or corn, which tend to be
cheaper, Woitzik said.
"They're not making a
traditional-style beer. The
people that drink buck-a-
beer are not the craft brew-
ers' clients, so I don't think
it will have any impact
whatsoever on our busi-
ness," he said.
"We're dealing with a
crowd that doesn't want to
buy 12 beers and drink
them all at once for $12.
They want to sample differ-
ent styles, they want to en-
joy the uniqueness of the
products, and they basical-
ly want to enjoy a better
quality product."
Doug Ford confirmed on
Aug. 7 that he will intro-
duce legislation that will
allow breweries to lower
the minimum price of a bot-
tle or can of beer with an al-
cohol volume below 5.6 per
cent, to $1, from $1.25, by La-
bour Day weekend, if they
choose to do so. The mini-
mum price of a beer was
raised by the Liberal gov-
ernment 10 years ago, most-
ly for social responsibility
reasons.
Woitzik said the new
buck-a-beer push gives
larger brewers the advan-
tage over the smaller ones
that already keep their
prices as low as possible to
stay competitive. He noted
that the price of a 473-milli-
litre can at Brock Street is
$2.95, compared to a tallboy
of Mill Street Organic, for
example, that rings in at
$3.25.
"The one thing that I
find most offensive about
the policy is the fact that
the government is willing
to give premium shelf
space to the larger brewers
that are able to meet those
price points, thereby de-
tracting from the other
smaller Ontario producers
that create the majority of
the local jobs and (contrib-
ute) to their communities."
As part of the province's
buck-a-beer plan, Ontario
will provide participating
brewers with limited-time
LCBO promotional consid-
erations such as prime in-
store displays on end aisles
or advertising in liquor
store flyers or newspaper
inserts.
Brock Street Brewery's
second location is current-
ly under construction in
downtown Whitby. This
year alone, the company is
donating upward of $30,000
to local service clubs
through sponsorship, said
Woitzik.
"We give back. All our
employees here are local,
whereas a larger brewer
might have one sales rep
that services the area ...
craft brewers create local
jobs, and I think the gov-
ernment's job should be to
support local businesses."
In North Durham, at the
Old Flame Brewery in Port
Perry, Jack Doak emphati-
cally shakes his head, say-
ing no when asked if he'll be
brewing up basement-
priced beer.
"There's not a craft
brewery in Ontario that is
looking to make or wanting
to be a discount beer
brand," said Doak.
He stressed his custom-
er base is looking more at
quality than cost.
"We make high-quality
beer with high-quality in-
gredients, and our consum-
er is more concerned with
that part of the business
model," said Doak. "We
can't possibly make this
level of quality and sell it
for $1. It's just not possible.
Our marketplace is more
interested in quality than
price point."
Attempting to cut cor-
ners to lower the price of
beer, such as using corn or
rice, would just devalue
your brand, added Doak.
"To produce a high-qual-
ity product, with good fla-
vour, you need to source
high-quality ingredients,"
he said.
Besides, continued
Doak, the craft-brewing
business is about more
than just suds.
"My brewery, as a mi-
cro- or craft-brewery, we
don't look at ourselves as
being in the brewing busi-
ness. We're more into tour-
ism and entertainment, we
just happen to make a con-
sumable product," he said.
"The craft-brewing market
is more about local and cre-
ating jobs, and promoting
our town and community."
West of Port Perry, in
Uxbridge, Joanne Richter
at The Second Wedge Brew-
ing Co. says the buck-a-
beer announcement, made
in Prince Edward County
on Aug. 7, hasn't made her
business rethink its plans.
"We don't really care if
other breweries are inter-
ested in selling their beer
for $1," said Richter, who
takes care of the company's
marketing and public rela-
tions. "It's so far removed
from the reality of craft
brewing in Ontario."
She called Ford's plans
to lower the beer-pricing
floor "a show" and stressed
that those who swill suds in
volume are not the con-
sumers Second Wedge is
looking to cater to.
"It's not even our mar-
ket," she said of those inter-
ested in basement-priced
beer. "It's not the type of
beer we brew."
Given the cost of every-
thing that goes into brew-
ing local, high-quality beer,
such as ingredients and
packaging, "there's not a
chance we could sell beer
for a buck," she said.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY
I held a hummingbird in
my hand the other day. I'd
venture that's something
not many people get to do.
These remarkable crea-
tures are flighty, wary, little
things and not terribly
prone to taming at all.
This little guy, sadly, had
come my way through mis-
fortune.
He'd bonked his noggin
on the plate-glass windows
that make up the front of
our living room and which
give us such a wonderful
view of the hummers at
their feeders.
He was so tiny that
when he hit the window he
made no more noise than a
dragonfly or a large bum-
blebee.
When I went out onto
the deck to check on him,
he was lying on his back,
wings twitching spasmodi-
cally, looking up at me with
the eyes of a frightened
child.
I could see his heart
beating like a miniature
jackhammer in his snow-
white chest.
I always find moments
like these difficult. I des-
perately want to help the
injured party, but I'm also
acutely aware of how terri-
fying my presence must
seem to something that
small.
And I'm sometimes con-
flicted about interfering in
the natural order of things.
W
ill my intervening make
things worse?
b I wonder if God ever
feels like that.
Too late, anyway. We
had made eye contact. And
I could swear his was a look
of "Dude, can you help a
brother out?"
I reached down and,
cupping my hand, gently
rolled him, right side up,
into my palm.
My breath caught in my
throat. He was so soft and
fragile and warm. I could
feel his heart machine-
gunning against me. His
back was the most
spectacular, sparkling jade
green I'd ever seen.
It was like holding a ti-
ny, living, breathing jewel.
He sat there, motionless
and blinking, for about 30
seconds and then, to my
immense relief, his little
wings started up, and with
the sound of one of those
wind-up, balsa-wood toy
airplanes we used to play
with, he rose straight up
into the air.
He hovered, in front of
me for just a fraction of a
second, then zipped up into
the safety of the tree cano-
py - leaving both of us the
better for having met.
Neil Crone, actor, comic,
writer, saves some of his
best lines for this column.

THE BEAUTY OF
THE TINIEST
CREATURE
NEIL
CRONE
Column OPG'S MISLEADING
CARBON-FREE CLAIM
To the editor:
Ontario Power Genera-
tion's nuclear power may
be lower carbon than fossil
fuels, but it's higher than
renewables.
The full life cycle of nu-
clear energy must be con-
sidered:
Step 1. Mining of uranium
2. Processing of uranium
3. Transportation and
storage of pure uranium
4. Building structures
needed to contain reactors,
cooling pools and other
needed processes
5. Running of actual nu-
clear reactor with all its
harmful waste production
6. Capture and storage
of both high- and low-level
waste materials
7. Transportation of
waste containers to even-
tual storage site
8. Construction and con-
tinued maintenance of
storage structures and pos-
sible deep repository for
long-term storage of radio-
active waste
9. Decommissioning of
the station
The only part of the cycle
that Ontario Power Genera-
tion wants to own up to is
the actual generation, while
conveniently ignoring all of
the other required steps.
This is disingenuous.
Replacement of high-
cost, dangerous and highly
polluting nuclear energy is
easily within Ontario's
reach, in the form of half-
the-price water power from
Quebec, made-in-Ontario
solar and wind, and en-
hanced efforts in energy-
saving practices. These are
all lower-cost, safer, renew-
able and produce no toxic
emissions or waste, with
lower greenhouse-gas emis-
sions.

READER SHOULD RELAX AND
HAVE A BIT OF FUN
To the editor:
Re: Reader didn't see hu-
mour in columnist's spiri-
tual junket, letters, Aug. 1
Mr. Page, may I suggest
you relax a little.
No need to have taken
Neil Crone's "spiritual" col-
umn so seriously, no need
to have to take him so liter-
ally, is there?
Let the man have his
fun, because ... Neil's col-
umn was funny, and the
man is funny.
I, as I suspect most did,
got a good chuckle, from
said column. I have gone to
see Neil in performance
more than once, and I look
forward to his oh-so-often
right-on columns.
We think very alike I
have discovered, Neil Crone
and I. Even the devout peo-
ple, as you put it, surely
need to relax a little, and
have some fun, when it
comes to lighthearted fare,
regarding "spiritual" ... fun.

Finding the best countertop for your home
(NC) Updating your countertop is one way to refresh
your kitchen and make it look brand new. It is as impor-
tant to consider the style you are hoping to achieve as
keeping to your budget. Check out some helpful tips
from The Home Depot Canada to get started.
For style and durability. If you are looking for a coun-
tertop that will stand the test of time and look good
doing it, consider quartz. The material is durable and
naturally non-porous, making it resistant to stains. Ad-
ditionally, you can rest easy knowing that your coun-
tertop is not harbouring bacteria on a non-porous sur-
face. There are several colours to choose from, so you
can be sure that you will find one that matches your
style.
For counters that last. We all want a countertop that
won’t crack under pressure. Consider Dekton coun-
tertops and feel confident that they will last. Taking a
cue from the natural earth process that creates stone,
Dekton is produced using extremely high tempera-
tures and pressure. Its durability also makes it a great
for an outdoor kitchen — perfect for withstanding
direct heat from hot-off-the-barbecue grill pans and
roasting pots.
For a unique twist. If you are looking to add a rus-
tic-chic focal point in your home, consider opting for
counters that are made from wood. Crafted with oils
that make them water resistant, they can withstand ev-
eryday kitchen activities such as cooking and cleaning.
Popular choices among the many colours to choose
from include espresso, light oak and golden teak.
Find more information at your local store or online at
homedepot.ca/kitchens.

DURHAM - A purport-
edly public document out-
lining allegations of mis-
conduct against a Durham
police officer remains
sealed as lawyers contin-
ue discussions of issues
involved in the case.
The notice of hearing,
outlining allegations sup-
porting Police Services
Act charges against Sgt.
Nicole Whiteway, has
been withheld from the
media and the public since
a tribunal process began
in late May. Hearing offi-
cer Stuart McDonald
granted the unusual re-
quest after a lawyer re-
presenting the officer said
she needed time to discuss
the allegations with Whi-
teway.
Notices of hearing are
public documents that are
routinely released at the
outset of disciplinary
hearings for police offi-
cers.
The issue of the sealed
document arose again
Tuesday, Aug. 7, when
parties involved in the
case took part in a confer-
ence call. McDonald, a re-
tired OPP superintendent,
noted the notice has been
withheld since May 30,
and said he'd like the mat-
ter "expedited" as lawyers
discuss a number of issues
related to the file.
Maureen Salama, who
spoke on behalf of White-
way's lawyer, Peter Brau-
ti, confirmed a review of
the allegations had been
held with the officer. But
Salama asked for more
time to speak to the issue
of release of the informa-
tion at the tribunal level.
"We're trying to expe-
dite it," Salama said. "It's
not like we're dragging
our feet."
Oshawa lawyer Sandip
Khehra, who is not for-
mally involved in the mat-
ter, asked why the infor-
mation continues to be
withheld.
"What's the logic for not
releasing the notice of
hearing?" Khehra asked.
"Why does there have to be
a meeting of the minds?"
Khehra was quickly
shut down by McDonald,
who said that as a citizen
he had a right to observe
proceedings, but not to
make submissions.
"I don't believe you
have standing in this mat-
ter," McDonald said. "I
don't believe you are enti-
tled to ask those ques-
tions."
McDonald noted that
while the notice of hearing
is deemed a public docu-
ment, "There is informa-
tion within the notice of
hearing that may not be
appropriate for public re-
lease."
The matter is to be dis-
cussed again Sept. 5.

AJAX - Fresh Mexican
food in a pleasant setting.
That's what barBurrito,
a new restaurant in the
Westney Heights Plaza at
Westney and Kingston
roads, is offering.
It opened in June and of-
fers such fare as burritos,
quesadillas, tacos, fries
and chips and salsa.
Owner Vickram Aggar-
wal grew up in Ajax and
Pickering, and getting into
business was always the
plan.
"I've always been busi-
ness oriented. I always
wanted my own thing. The
goal was to have a store at
the end of the day," Aggar-
wal said. "It wasn't a
choice. Now I'm working
with the brand."
Before opening the Ajax
location, he was working
in the company's head of-
fice, where he was a train-
er.
When he joined barBur-
rito, it had 10 outlets. When
he left, it had grown to
more than 60 stores.
"I knew what to expect"
when he opened, he said. "I
designed and built the
store. I enjoy the environ-
ment."
He enjoys "being
around people, seeing how
it operates. I don't like the
food industry, but I'm al-
ways in it."
Aggarwal has seen the
company grow.
"I see a lot of things
growing. There's no better
market research than
working with the guys in
the company," he noted.
Since opening in early
June, he's had two holidays
-the Canada Day weekend
and the Civic Holiday.
"We were closed on Sun-
day, which is usually quiet,
and Monday" both week-
ends.
Aggarwal also had an
active hand in the building
of the store. "I was the con-
struction manager. The
first person to see the loca-
tion was me. The president
said 'you're from Picker-
ing.' He said "you always
wanted a store.'"
He designed the store
and was "here every day of
the build."
He also did all the staff
training. He started with
eight employees, but now
has seven. Between eight
to 10 staffers are needed to
run the place, he added.
"In September, when
students are back, I'll need
one more student on the
line," he said.
Being in the food indus-
try seems to run in the
family.
His father had a restau-
rant in Dubai and Aggar-
wal joined him there for a
time. He also managed a
restaurant in Cape Town,
South Africa in 2009.
"I was there through the
World Cup (in 2010). We
were in the heart of the
town," Aggarwal said.
He returned to Canada
in 2013 and joined barBur-
rito.
He was born in Ajax and
went to school at Lincoln
Alexander Public School
until Grade 8. The family
then moved to Pickering
and he attended Pine Ridge
Secondary School.

Barbara Garnett
(nee Chambers)
Nov 9, 1943 - Aug 11, 2017
Barb left us one year ago but her presence
remains both in the home she created for
her family, and in the gardens she so
carefully tended all these years.
Predeceased by her husband Charles and
daughter Laura, Barb always exhibited
extraordinary strength and grace during
the most difficult of times.
She is remembered for her love of
wildlife, passion for gardening and for
willingly sharing her knowledge of it
with those around her. She had a joyful
laugh that made people smile and always
went out of her way to extend
kindness to others.
She is missed by her sister Eleanor (Lou)
and her brother-in-law Robert, her
daughter Jan, son Alan and his wife Ellen,
along with her grandchildren James,
Paige and Ella and many
extended family members.
Our thanks go out to those who have taken
the time to reach out and fill our lives with
such wonderful stories since her passing.
Your kind words have filled our lives with
peace this past year.
We are blessed that mom passed in her
beloved home, surrounded by her gardens,
on her own terms without suffering. It was
exactly what she would have wanted.
After her passing Barb continued to help
others as her corneas were successfully
transplanted in two recipients.
In lieu of donations, the family asks that
anyone wishing to remember Barb do so
by extending an offer of kindness to
someone in need of support, whether by
kind words or gesture.
BARRY-FOWLER, Annie Gay-Passed away
suddenly on Aug 8 2018 at Ajax / Pickering
Lakeridge hospital. Gay was born in
Pembroke Ontario on November 11 1942
Daughter of the late Luella Barry She is pre-
deceased by her son David Barry and
survived by son John Paul Barry
(Alessandra) Angela McDonnell (Neal), Step
Daughters Davinder Dhillon (Pre-deceased
Doran Major) Elizabeth Coyles (Mark) She
was a devoted Grandmother to Derek, Ayla &
Carling Coyles, Santiago & Gabriel Barry,
Sydney & India Major, Samantha, Alicia &
Jacob McDonnell in addition Misty her toy
poodle and faithful companion of 18 years
will be resting with her. Loving wife of Jim
Fowler for 32 years. Gay traveled the world
with her husband as he completed
assignments throughout Europe, Africa, New
Zealand, South America, South Pacific
islands of Tahiti, Fiji and New Caledonia. Gay
enjoyed a good round of golf and spent many
happy times in creating her beautiful gardens
always considered the heart of her family.
She relished in the enjoyment of time spent
with her children and grandchildren. A true
lady who welcomed everyone into her home
with a loving heart and open arms. With her
wit and sometimes sassy attitude she was
always someone you could sit and enjoy time
with. Considered a fierce and devoted friend
too many. Gay was a civil servant for the
Ontario government for 28 years from 1967
to 1995. During her career she applied and
was accepted for the position of Telephone
Services Officer (the first female to be
accepted for the position in the Ontario
Government) and eventually became the
Senior Telecommunications Project manager
responsible for overseeing the procurement,
installation and training of major telephone
systems and call centers. She became a
member of the Royal Canadian Legion at
Branch 22 in 1988 and was elected to the
executive. We transferred to Branch 13
where she was appointed as Secretary and
served in the position for approximately 3
years. In 1997, she was elected President, a
position which she held for two years. In that
position she dealt with many issues which
required interaction with Ministry of Labour,
Ontario Gaming Commission and Provincial
Executive. The Service will be officiated by
Rev Judy Davidson at the MCEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME 28 Old Kingston Road
