Anoth- er 50 people were wounded in the attacks. The vigil was organized by Friends Indeed Canada and the Town of Ajax. Pandit Rabindranath Tiwari with the Sankat Mo- chan Hanuman Mandir, a Hindu temple in Ajax, was joined by his son Arjuna while speaking. "We stand united with our Muslim brothers and sisters against all forms of hate and radicalism. Hate starts with a thought. After that, it becomes words. We speak our hate and eventu- ally, for some people, they act it out," Tiwari said. Iman Abdul Mannan of the Pickering Islamic Cen- tre said, "It seems every few days now we're pulling off the bandage and ripping off the wounds before they have a chance to heal." Reverend Peter Dahlin, of the Dunbarton-Fairport United Church in Picker- ing, said mosques, syna- gogues, schools and "even cemeteries, from time to time, have been attacked and vandalized. We have to stand up against this. This isn't acceptable." Drummond White, the president of the Unitarian Universalist Church, said, "We stand in solidarity with our Muslim neigh- bours here in Durham, across Canada and around the world. We grieve with our brothers and sisters." He noted he rents an apartment to a Muslim woman who fled the vio- lence in Syria with her daughter. "She should not be afraid to worship in her own religion here in our community. She should be welcomed here," White said. "We should meet vio- lence and injustice in all its forms with compassion and love." Vaqar Raees of Friends Indeed Canada noted there were vigils after the Que- bec City attack, the Dan- forth Avenue attack and now the New Zealand at- tack. "This is not good. We have to stop (the violence) and only we can stop it," Raees said. Durham Regional chair John Henry said each time someone makes a friend, they have defeated hate. "God gives us a chance every day when the sun comes up to do better. We must not become compla- cent. We must not accept this and today, if you make a new friend, you have helped defeat hate." Ajax MP Mark Holland said, "We have to confront hate in all its forms and all of its opportunities. Hate doesn't come from no- where. Hate comes in its earliest form from being isolated, not feeling impor- tant, not feeling included." Ajax Mayor Shaun Col- lier said, "It's so important that when a terrible, cow- ardly act like this takes place, we get together." The large crowd "dem- onstrates how stronger we are together and how sup- portive we are as we stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters," Collier added. Pickering councillor Shaheem Butt said "It's re- ally unfortunate we are here, but it's really impor- tant we are here. The mes- sage is loud and clear - soli- darity, unity, love and com- passion. What's so difficult about this? "Hate mongers, your world is shrinking on you," Butt said. "Stay united and let's spread the good work together." Inspector Jeff Haskins of the Durham Regional Police noted worshippers at area mosques "will have seen a quiet police pres- ence in the parking lot at mosques. It's to provide congregants with some re- assurance that we are a very safe community." Other speakers includ- ed Ajax MPP Rod Phillips and Ajax councillor Ash- meed Khan. Javaid Akbar, a mem- ber of the Pickering Islam- ic Centre, said, "We must recognize the people of New Zealand. While the Muslim community was frightened, their response was swift and sweeping. They rallied around the Muslim community and raised it." He noted the CBC has documented 130 hate groups in Canada. "This racism and bigot- ry is eating away at the moral fabric of our nation," Akbar said. "As humans, we have a lot of good in us. Let's capitalize on it and share the goodness we have. Let's consign racism to the dustbin of history." Cecil Ramnath said, "As we join hands with other faiths, please know the Hindu community stands in solidarity, love and sup- port with our Muslin brothers and sisters in con- demning this heinous act of terrorism of innocent men, women and children. It's sad it happened during prayers in their house of worship." Kerri Thomson took in the vigil with her service dog Maizi. "It's my community. Even though I'm not reli- gious, we are all humans. We can either stand away from each other and not get to know the differences or we can communicate and learn the differences," Thomson said.

Ron Pietroniro/Metroland COMMUNITY LETTER Town council should challenge itself to find savings TO THE EDITOR: Re: Ajax considering 4.75 per cent tax in- crease, news, March 7 I must respond, if no one else will, to this article, which was tucked away on page nine. It sounds like the "considering" part is already over, since town council approved the increased operating budget previous to the article's publication. After reading it through several times I still do not understand what the mayor means when he says, "We're missing a great number of opportunities to excel." I sense council's excitement comes from the opportunity to demand and spend the residents' hard-earned money. Perhaps we could excel more, individually, if our taxes were kept from increasing. If only we had the opportunity to request and receive more money every year, as does our town council. Is our town council aware of the many citizens in Ajax who are on fixed incomes, or have lost jobs recently, or the many citi- zens who have not received raises for years? What options do we have in the face of eter- nally increasing taxes? Many of us will have to pare back our already meagre budgets and look for savings elsewhere. It's called being economical and attempting to live within our means. A lesson our town coun- cil should learn; preferably sooner than lat- er. Shouldn't our town council see their op- portunities as responsibilities? How about looking for efficiencies and finding creative ways to save some money? I'll start them off small: It shouldn't take five town employees half a day to plant annuals in a flower bed the size of a van - multiple times a year. Have they heard of perennials? How about volun- teers? How many citizens can afford land- scaping? Should the town not reflect its citi- zens? Maybe the town council could consider the opportunity to be a community that doesn't live beyond its means. Consider this a challenge: It's how many of its citizens live each and every day.

But Knight was swim- ming upstream, flailing against a virtual tsunami of evidence that had been painstakingly presented over the course of preceding months by the prosecution. Knight's wife Carmela, 39, was ambushed and bru- tally murdered in her home on Pebblestone Crescent in Pickering on the afternoon of Sept. 15, 2014. Perhaps the most com- pelling piece of evidence heard during the trial was a recording in which the kill- er, Graham MacDonald, told undercover police offi- cers he'd been hired by Knight to commit the mur- der. But that wasn't all the ju- ry heard. Knight met MacDonald through his brother, Mat- thew Knight, with whom MacDonald had worked. By the summer of 2014 the two were often in contact. At tri- al, the Crown produced pho- tos of the two. There they were, drinking in a bar. There was MacDonald, sit- ting in the passenger seat of Knight's BMW at a gas sta- tion. The jury heard about burner phones, purchased shortly before the murder at a mall kiosk with a pho- ney name and address - one used by Knight, the other by MacDonald. Records re- vealed dozens of calls be- tween the two from early September until about 8 p.m. on the night Carmela died. Suddenly, the contact ceased. The Crown presented ev- idence that Knight and MacDonald resumed their relationship in early 2015, usually in the pubs where Knight whiled away his af- ternoons. By this time Mac- Donald had been befriended by undercover cops posing as low-level criminals who convinced him they could help him divert police by convincing them someone else had committed the murder. The officers drove Mac- Donald to and from his meetings with Knight. On one occasion he showed the cops $5,000 he said Knight had given him as payment for the job. Soon after that he produced a rosary, pro- vided by Knight, he said, to help advance the story that someone else had murdered Carmela. Court also heard details about Knight's life with Car- mela that provided a viable motive for the murder. In June of 2014 Carmela, fed up with Knight's ongoing affair with a woman in Florida, announced she was seeking a divorce. Knight was an- gered when Carmela hired a lawyer; he was soon tell- ing people that Carmela was an unfit mother who abused her two sons and spent her nights out drink- ing and gambling with a boyfriend (all lies, as Knight himself admitted). A few days before Car- mela died, Knight was served notice there would be a family court hearing at which she was seeking sup- port payments and custody of their two sons. The Crown highlighted actions taken by Knight af- ter the killing that indicated he was preparing to start a new life in Florida. He was negotiating to buy a con- struction company there. He put offers in on houses. He investigated schools. As he prepared to take his sons to Florida for Christmas, he obtained copies of their school and immunization records. Knight cashed a cheque worth tens of thousands of dollars - an insurance payout for the damage caused to the Pebblestone house by the fire MacDon- ald set the night he killed Carmela - at a cash-chequ- ing outlet, paying a large fee to get his hands on the money. Ten days before Christ- mas Eve, Knight laid down $15,000 for a private plane to get to Florida. When he ar- rived at Pearson airport to board it police were waiting; they seized his passport. Knight never got on the pri- vate jet and never got a re- fund. Apparently still intent on leaving Canada, Knight investigated applying for a British passport. All this conduct, the Crown insisted, indicated the desperate actions of a guilty man. Knight denied any role in Carmela's death, or any knowledge of MacDonald's involvement. He said his frequent contact with Mac- Donald - including a flurry of calls on the day of the kill- ing - was to arrange for Mac- Donald to do some odd jobs around the Pebblestone house. He said the $5,000 Mac- Donald claimed was pay- ment for the killing was sto- len from his coat as they drank in a pub. Knight said he never confronted Mac- Donald about the missing cash, but agreed to meet with him the next day. That meeting was the one at which MacDonald obtained the rosary. A wire- tap recording of the ex- change - in the bathroom at a bar and grill - catches Knight telling MacDonald, "it's from her purse." Knight's explanation: MacDonald had showed him a stolen USB stick that held records indicating Knight had skimmed mon- ey from a construction con- tract. He said he told Mac- Donald the stick had been in Carmela's purse to dissuade him from taking it to the po- lice. Under five days of cross examination Knight held firm, insisting prosecutor Paul Murray was barking up the wrong tree when he portrayed his actions and words as those of a guilty man. But his denials weren't enough. Jurors retired to delib- erate late in the day Friday, Feb. 15. They returned at about 4:30 in the afternoon the next day to pronounce him guilty of first-degree murder, arson and conspir- acy to commit murder. The first-degree murder conviction carries an auto- matic life sentence with pa- role eligibility set at 25 years. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 11.

Feed the Need in Dur- ham is the food hub for emergency food providers and hunger-relief organiza- tions in the region and serves organizations in- cluding food banks, food pantries, meal programs in- cluding school nutrition programs and shelters. "Our goal across the GTA is to raise a million pounds of food and $1 mil- lion," said Feed the Need ex- ecutive director Ben Earl. The organization is teaming up with Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank, Food Bank of York Region, Knights Table Brampton, North York Harvest Food Bank and the Mississauga Food Bank on the cam- paign, which launches on March 19 and runs until the end of April. Earl explains the idea is to build on the already close relationship between orga- nizations that serve a simi- lar purpose in their commu- nities. "We work very closely with our partners in the GTA in sharing food, in sharing resources, in shar- ing understanding, in shar- ing ideas and just support- ing each other," he said. "We decided why not translate that stuff we're already do- ing anyway into a common campaign." The purpose of the cam- paign is to raise funds and food but also to advocate so that people understand hunger is a GTA-wide issue. "It affects communities across the GTA from Cla- rington all the way to Mis- sissauga and north," said Earl. "It affects everybody, it's not just a downtown To- ronto issue, it's a suburban issue. It looks a little bit dif- ferent in every community but it's there." Feed the Need currently supports 62 member orga- nizations and distributes 1.4 million pounds of food each year. Right now, said Earl, about 15 per cent of donated items come from communi- ty donations including food drives. "The balance, though, about 85 to 90 per cent de- pending on the year, comes from large food distributors -grocery distributors or food service organizations that have large amounts of surplus. Local farms is an- other source of fresh pro- duce that we get." Feed the Need exists to collect those large dona- tions and then distribute the food among member or- ganizations. "These bodies don't want five small food banks show- ing up and taking a couple of boxes," said Earl. "What they want to do is get 10 skids off their dock because it's either that or it goes to waste. It's food recovery, it's good food that based on the way the food system works could go to waste." The monetary donations help with the organization's bills including the 10,000- square-foot warehouse in south Oshawa, mainte- nance and utility bills to keep the refrigerators run- ning, the costs for keeping trucks on the road picking up and distributing food and staff costs. Earl said for every dollar that comes into Feed the Need, $7 worth of food goes out into the community. The Kendalwood Church Food Bank in Whitby is one of the organizations served by Feed the Need. Food bank co-ordinator Marcia White explains the food bank opened about two years ago at the Kendal- wood Seventh-day Advent- ist Church. She said more than 60 families use the food bank's services every other week. Users come from differ- ent areas of the GTA, but mainly Oshawa and Whitby and the food bank works with two Whitby schools and an Oshawa school to re- fer families. White said about 50 to 60 per cent of the food distrib- uted comes through Feed the Need and when the food bank opened the goal was to supply local families with fresh food. "We wanted to do some- thing healthy for our cli- ents, so we advocate for a lot of fresh food, fruit and vege- tables, milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt and some sort of a protein whether it be chick- en or fish, whatever we get," said White. "If we don't get chicken, we try to buy eggs." In the summer volun- teers grow fresh vegetables in the garden for clients. White said several of the volunteers have a nursing background so they work with families to address general health issues and make sure the food distrib- uted meets needs so people who are diabetic, gluten- free, hypertensive and lac- tose intolerant receive food appropriate for a healthy di- et. Feed the Need's ability to distribute and store food is a big help to Kendalwood as the food bank is only open once per week and volun- teers pick up food items on the same day they distrib- ute them. White said the or- ganization is happy to take as much fresh food as the Feed the Need can share and then the remainder is supplemented through food bought with donations to the food bank. She sees a great need in the community for food bank services. "There is still a lot of working poor, they're work- ing but they're struggling to pay the bills, they're strug- gling to buy food, they're struggling to keep up with the mortgage, and mostly the rent."

FEED THE NEED IN DURHAM JOINS GTA-WIDE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE $1 MILLION, MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD Feed the Need in Durham is launching a campaign on March 19 along with five other GTA food banks aimed at raising $1 million and a million pounds of food to support families experiencing food insecurity.

Graham MacDonald will serve the term concurrently with life sentence (with no parole eligibility for 25 years) he was given after be- ing found guilty of the first- degree murder of Carmela Knight. Carmela's husband, Da- vid Knight, was convicted in February of first-degree murder, arson and conspir- acy to commit murder. His sentencing hearing is sched- uled for next month. MacDonald was found guilty on the same charges in February 2018. He and Knight were arrested after an undercover police inves- tigation, during which Mac- Donald was duped into con- fessing to the 2014 killing and Knight's involvement in the plot. During Knight's trial last November, the Crown, seek- ing to introduce MacDon- ald's confession as evidence, called him as a witness. MacDonald pointedly de- clared he had no intention of testifying. After refusing to be sworn as a witness, Mac- Donald launched into a pro- fane diatribe during which he made crude gestures to- ward Superior Court Jus- tice Alex Sosna and court staff. "I'm giving you the fin- ger. Go f--- yourself," Mac- Donald said to the judge. "Put that on the record." MacDonald was cited for contempt. At Friday's sen- tencing hearing prosecutor Kristen Pollock called for a four-year prison term, say- ing that MacDonald had shown disrespect for the justice system. She also not- ed that his refusal to testify at Knight's trial triggered a voir dire hearing on the ad- missibility of his statements to the undercover cops; that resulted in a three-week in- terruption in a trial that spanned five months, she said. "The disrespect he showed the court was egre- gious," Pollock said. "His be- haviour was an affront to the administration of jus- tice." MacDonald disrupted the trial, inconveniencing a panel of jurors as well as witnesses whose testimony had to be rescheduled, Pol- lock said. "He was the wit- ness with the most material information to provide - he is the convicted killer of Car- mela Knight," she said. "The effect on the trial was signif- icant." Defence lawyer Tyler Smith said MacDonald ac- knowledges actions were contemptuous, but argued the sentence suggested by the Crown was excessive. He suggested a term of one to three years. Smith also said MacDon- ald "regrets" his conduct. The judge was quick to seize on that point, noting that during Friday's hearing, MacDonald sat in the pris- oner's dock grinning. "He's now laughing," Sosna ob- served. "And he's shaking his head." Sosna ultimately agreed with the Crown's submissi- on on sentence. He said con- tempt of the kind displayed by MacDonald "strikes at the heart of the justice sys- tem." "When a person delib- erately disobeys an order of the court, such conduct must be denounced," Sosna said. During Friday's pro- ceedings MacDonald was given the opportunity to ad- dress the court. He stood and gazed at the judge for a moment. "No. I'm good," he said, then sat down. COMBATIVE WITNESS AT MURDER TRIAL SENTENCED TO FOUR YEARS JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com NEWS GRAHAM MACDONALD SWORE, GAVE JUDGE THE FINGER DURHAM - Regional politicians cost Durham taxpayers $2.1 million in 2018, including $73,310.27 in severance pay. Asking for a severance was John Aker, an Oshawa councillor who didn't seek re-election in the fall. He received $16,396.61. Also asking was Tom Rowett, the mayor of Scugog, who didn't run again. He re- ceived $18,726. Bob Chapman, an Osha- wa councillor who re- signed in April to run as a provincial candidate for the Progressive Conserva- tive party in Oshawa last year, where he finished second to Jennifer French, also asked for severance. He received $38,187.66. Chapman ran and won a regional seat in Oshawa in the fall election. Topping the pay scale, as usual, was the regional chair. Durham had three in 2018, including longtime chair Roger Anderson, who died in March. He earned $54,789.84 in salary, benefits, mileage and ex- penses as the chair and a member of the police ser- vices board. Anderson was replaced as chair by then Uxbridge mayor Gerri Lynn O'Con- nor. She had salary, bene- fits, mileage and expenses totalling $188,273.65 as a councillor and chair. She retired at the end of the council term. The new chair is John Henry and he received $84,686.56 as a councillor and chair.

As to First Nations, they made clear they expect all to be 100 per cent sensitive to all First Nations issues - burial grounds, ancient village artifacts, and so on. They also made clear they have a solid track record as busi- ness persons, support the airport and plan to compete for selected tenders. As to the four levels of government (in- cluding regional), their reaction was mixed. For example, the mayor of Pickering is known to be a strong, vocal supporter, whereas the recently retired mayor of Ajax is not. Other mayors fell in that spectrum. The abutting regional chairs seemed cau- tiously supportive, except for the late Roger Anderson, who was vehemently pro-airport. The provincial MPPs also fit into the spec- trum but the federal MPs were unanimous and adamant: They were anti-airport, cap- turing why in one word, "mandate." As one stated, "I've just spent months knocking on thousands of doors and not one constituent raised the airport in a positive way - not one! I'm elected to respect the mandate of the peo- ple and so, no airport." Soon, it occurred to me to add this ques- tion: "What if there's no choice?" What if the pressure on Pearson becomes so staggering, it will collapse without a reliever airport, bringing the GGH (Greater Golden Horse- shoe) down with it? When asked that question, even the most ardent anti-airport people replied that might redefine the situation, which they'd then re- visit. Another interview was with one of Onta- rio's highest profile, longest serving and most senior MPPs/cabinet members. "Gary," he opened (when we met in Clare- mont), "I need to be blunt. Approving the Pickering Airport is the most important de- cision any government will make in our life- times. It must happen!" He then explained why? (jobs, etc.). His view was corroborated by probably Ontario's most identifiable politician, 98- year-old Hazel McCallion, whom I met in her office. Picture multiple desks, each piled high with file folders, which she energetical- ly retrieved to make her points: a) Mississau- ga's growth and wealth could not have hap- pened without Malton/Pearson; and b) If the market warrants the airport, it will redefine Durham like nothing else. In a way, she summarized the choice: Market gardens or Mississauga. The next column will answer: a) If a re- liever must be built, where? b) Who'll run it? c) More.

Property flipping? Know how it can affect your tax return (NC) Buying and selling property as a way to make a profit can be a smart move as long as you do your research and know how to report it at tax time. When you buy property with the main intention of selling for a profit, you are engaged in the business of property flipping. This often means you buy a property, take possession, and do some renovations. After the property is improved, you sell it and any profits become part of your income. You may choose to live in the property while making improvements. However, this does not entitle you to the principal residence exemption, if the intention was always to buy, improve and sell for profit. When buying and flipping a property, you must report any profit as business income. Property flipping may also involve buying and selling a property before its official sale or construction—a process called an “assignment sale”, when the buyer of a property assigns the legal rights and obligations of their contract of purchase and sale to a secondary buyer. You must report the money you make on all real estate transactions, including flips and as- signment sales, of both pre-construction and resale homes, to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). While property flipping is legal, there are specific tax rules to keep in mind: • The profits you make from flipping real estate are generally considered to be fully tax- able as business income. • The principal residence exemption does not apply to property flipping. • These transactions may also be subject to GST/HST which you would be responsible for remitting to the CRA. This is particularly the case for new or substantially renovated homes.

And with investment comes additional good jobs, close to home. A recent study found that Durham is highly competitive within its five key sectors: agribusiness, health sciences, innovative technology, manufactur- ing, tourism - and the EN3 cluster (energy, environ- ment and engineering). Why? Within the Great- er Toronto and Hamilton Area (excluding Toronto), Durham has relatively low industrial and office com- mercial lease rates; reason- able property taxes (indus- trial and commercial office development); competitive development costs; afford- able wages for startup businesses; access to high- quality infrastructure; strong technical and col- lege-level programming; and a rapidly growing pres- ence of research and inno- vation assets. We are a community that radiates innovation - it's an ecosystem fuelled by a talented and educated workforce, one that under- stands how collaboration sparks new ideas and strengthens our competi- tive advantages. Our re- gion's 12,599 businesses un- derstand that. Sixty four per cent of our workforce has a post- secondary education. Plus, there are thousands of full- time students who are working toward a higher level of education right here at home (including at the renowned University of Ontario Institute of Tech- nology). No other Canadi- an region, our size, has as many post-secondary op- tions as we do. Education drives our progressive leaders of to- morrow; great minds spark innovation. Our local entrepreneurs and businesses also inject creativity and strength in- to the economy. It is their innovative ideas that ulti- mately help businesses compete in a global mar- ket. OPG included medical isotopes as part of its Dar- lington refurbishment pro- ject (isotopes are used to detect cancers and other medical conditions) - now, Durham Region is a world leader in the production of these elements! And, while some people feel that opportunities come from being in the right place at the right time, success is often the result of confidence, push- ing an idea forward. Aero- space is the fifth largest employer in Canada: if we had an airport in Picker- ing, we could attract em- ployment clusters focused on innovation, intelligent technology, research/de- velopment and interna- tional trade. We could cre- ate 20,000 jobs. A cost-effective busi- ness environment is criti- cal to enabling investment, expansion and job growth. Working collaboratively with our local economic de- velopment partners, we will continue to promote our competitive advantag- es and help to spark invest- ment in our region.

Unifor national presi- dent Jerry Dias met on Tuesday with senior Gen- eral Motors officials to find ways to preserve jobs in Oshawa. "I am much more confi- dent today than I was a month ago that together we will find a resolution," Dias said. "While some of our members qualify for retire- ment, others need ongoing, good paying jobs to support their families. We are com- mitted to work with GM to find solutions for both." Unifor began negotia- tions with GM on Feb. 25. The union noted in a statement that it's aware the company won't be ex- tending vehicle manufac- turing beyond December 2019. "We are examining the potential to transform op- erations so as to maintain a base level of hourly em- ployment," the union stat- ed. The parties have agreed to continue talks over the next few weeks and Un- ifor's priority is to save as many jobs as possible in Oshawa. While the talks are on- going, Unifor has suspend- ed its multimedia cam- paign to persuade the auto- maker to reverse its No- vember decision to close the Oshawa Assembly Plant.

Ralph Walton Regional Clerk / Director of Legislative Services The congregation of Bible Faith Church held a memorable celebration Sunday evening, with an official dedication ser- vice in their new home at the former Greenwood United Church on Concession Road 6 in Pickering. A full house of worshippers enjoyed music and songs by the Bible Faith Church Band, an of- f icial ribbon-cutting, remarks and greetings from special guests and refreshments down- stairs afterward. The evening service was a culmination of a long journey to find the right home for the non-denomina- tional church group, led by Rev. Gaetano Sicilia and his wife, as- sociate pastor Natalie Sicilia. "We are so privileged to have a part in what God is doing in this building," said Natalie Sici- lia prior to the service, which drew friends and guests from as far as Mississauga, Barrie and Haliburton. "We're ecstatic." With a church in Toronto since 1982, the Sicilias had been ministering to a Durham con- gregation in space on McPher- son Court, in an industrial area of Pickering; the Greenwood United Church, which marked its 150th anniversary in 2013, closed its doors in October of 2017 when it amalgamated with Mount Zion United Church due to low attendance. The Sicilias had been looking for a church building for five years, but during negotiations, the Greenwood church was sold to someone else for the purpose of becoming a private residence. "It broke my heart," said Na- talie. "We were disappointed. We prayed for the gentleman, but he had no interest in selling it." But in May of last year, the re- altor called the Sicilias, as the new owner had a change of heart. Some work had been done in upgrading the building, including the installation of a new furnace - the pastors had a difficult time arranging financ- ing, recalls Natalie, but the CIBC gave them a loan, and rep- resentatives from the bank were among the guests attending the dedication service Sunday. "It's been an incredible jour- ney in God," said Natalie, add- ing that the couple had some renovations done to the build- ing, but have maintained its his- torical integrity. Bible Faith Church officially took possession of the Green- wood church on Dec. 14, 2018. "During the first prayer ser- vice we had here, we all had goo- sebumps. We felt like we were infused, or grafted, into the his- tory of this place." Bible Faith Church in Picker- ing welcomes worshippers from all communities in Durham.

Judi Bobbitt photo DURHAM - A new report says hiring "transition pathway counsellors" is helping Durham District School Board students make informed choices when se- lecting courses for Grade 9. This school year, the public board used funding from the province to hire nine counsel- lors to work with Grade 7 and 8 students as they consider plans for high school. Counsellors are supporting Grade 8s as they use Career Cruising to select courses, as well as having one-on-one meet- ings. Grade 7 students are focusing on answering four questions provided by the Ministry of Edu- cation: Who am I? What are my opportunities? Who do I want to become? What is my plan for achieving my goals? The board's elementary prin- cipals completed a survey about the new counsellors - the report says 81 per cent of principals said students have been "positively receptive" to the initiative and 88 per cent said having the counsel- lors is "encouraging high expec- tations for all students."

The staff at TreeHouse ClubHouse in Pickering want to encourage kids to get back to traditional play and socializing. "We're a no-tech facility. Our philosophy is keeping our kids active and social," says manager Rosie Borges. "What we're striving toward is getting kids away from screens. Everything is cre- ative or physical." The 10,000-square-foot fa- cility is opening in March, featuring a 5,000 square foot play structure with a vari- ety of colourful slides and climbers. There is also space to host birthday parties and a café area for parents. TreeHouse ClubHouse will offer an after-school program weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. The program is set to in- clude school bus transporta- tion for area children, a healthy snack, homework time and hands-on activities such as robotics and pottery. Borges says the facility's guiding principles are cre- ativity, interactive play, physical health and social development. TreeHouse ClubHouse will offer drop-in play, as well as monthly and three- month passes. Admission is free for in- fants accompanied by a pay- ing sibling, $10 for children ages one to three and $15 for ages four to 13, and $10 for teens 14 to 17.

The dream of relaxing under- neath a shade tree, sipping one's own wine made from your sur- rounding vineyard is a common one. However, the reality of it all unveils itself with some major constraints. Those who attempt owning a winery must have the correct amount of capital, plan- ning, advice and determination in order to succeed. Owning a winery is not for the faint of heart or mind. Many celebrities have devel- oped the means to invest in either winery collaboration or outright ownership. Some are very suc- cessful. Case in point is the excellent and versatile actor Sam Neill (Ju- rassic Park 1 and 3, Thor Ragna- rok) who I had the pleasure of meeting at a wine tasting lun- cheon of his New Zealand Two Paddocks wines (available at Quebec's SAQ 12542966/13536138/ 13536189, $34 to $72). Two Paddocks is located in Central Otago and specializes in Pinot Noir and Riesling. I fell in love with these wines with notes of herbs, cherries, currants and evolving complexity. Canadian celebs are also no strangers to having their names associated with wine. Shark Tank host and business guru Kevin O'Leary, in conjunc- tion with Vineland Estates Win- ery on the Niagara Bench, pro- duces a Cabernet/Merlot (LCBO #30774, $14.95) and Chardonnay (LCBO #307751, $10.95) both being excellent in quality/price ratio. Lakeview Cellars in Niagara boasts several wines under the name of famed actor/comedian Dan Aykroyd, a Cabernet Merlot (LCBO #53827, $14.95) and Ca- bernet Shiraz (LCBO #74062, $14.95). Hockey star Wayne Gretzky is associated with some very nice wine. Now under the um- brella of Andrew Peller Ltd., the Wayne Gretzky Winery produc- es some fine wine. My favourites are the soft and supple Wayne Gretzky Merlot (LCBO #63966) and the excellent Wayne Gretz- ky No. 99 Riesling (LCBO #144865, $14.95). The highly lauded Tawse Winery in the Ni- agara Escarpment has a musi- cally talented celeb in the form of Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. Cuddy by Tawse comes in a Chardonnay (Vintages #469023, $24.95) and a sparkling wine (Vintages #546762, $20.75). The list of famous individuals who are associated with vine- yards or wineries ranges from politicians such as U.S.A. Demo- cratic Speaker of the House Nan- cy Pelosi to movie producers such as Francis Ford Coppola, to movie stars such as Antonio Banderas (Spain), singer/pro- ducer Sting (Italy) and televi- sion star Jason Priestly (Black Hills Estate, B.C.). Wine enthusiasts such as us are in good company. -Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with more than 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers' Circle of Canada.

Harry had an illustrious career that started over 40 years ago as a real estate agent with Frank Real Estate. He later went on to own his own brokerage Sutton Group Status. He was a mentor and friend to many in the field. Harry was also a lifetime member of The Royal Ashburn Golf Club where, much to his delight, he stripped many opponents of their money on a regular basis. Predeceased by his parents, Harold and Florence Hayes and sister-in-law, Sharon. Lovingly remembered by his siblings Terry Hayes (Heather Adamson) Bonnie Zauerhagen (John) and Lori Miller (George). Survived by his children Mike Hayes, Leigh-Ann Hayes (Len Tobin) and stepson Justin Derrick (Anik). Grandpa to Michael (Allie Ash), Cameron, Jamieson and Jack. Harry will be missed by his extended family, many friends and Elfie Hayes. A special thank you to the 4th floor staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for their care and compassion. A celebration of life will take place on Saturday, March 30th, 2019, from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Royal Ashburn Golf Club, Compton Room, 995 Myrtle Road West, Whitby, Ontario.
