A command post will be set up at the rear of the Pickering Recreation Cen- tre on Valley Farm Road from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sat- urday, April 13 and from 6 a.m. until noon on Sunday, April 14. Investigators want to hear from anyone with information about the kill- ing of 24-year-old Matthew Ruscitti, who died after be- ing found in the area with gunshot wounds early Sun- day, April 7. Ruscitti's killing was the third homicide in Durham Region of 2019, and the sec- ond of a young man in Pick- ering. The body of Nicho- las, Samaroo, also 24, was found in a wooded area near Pine Ridge Secondary School on the morning of Jan. 25. Kyeree Reynolds, 20, of Rosefield Road in Pickering and Marc Anthony Thomp- son, 19, of Gillette Drive in Ajax have been charged with first-degree murder in Samaroo's killing.

POLICE PLAN TO CANVASS FOR WITNESSES IN PICKERING AS MURDER INVESTIGATION CONTINUES JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com NEWS AJAX - A woman at- tacked by a dog in an Ajax park needed 34 staples to her head, along with stitch- es to her leg and arm. On an Ajax community Facebook page, a family member said the owner of the attacking dog fled the area and left the victim alone. "This is a horrible situa- tion that will have effects (sic) on her quality of life as she is in for a long recovery. What is even more unfath- omable is that the owner of this dog took the dog and ran away leaving our family member in the park bleed- ing alone," the family mem- ber posted. The incident happened in Gamble Park in the Sa- lem and Taunton roads area on Tuesday, April 9 at about 9:30 a.m., the person wrote. The 71-year-old woman was walking a small dog when a German shepherd mix dog attacked her. The victim suffered serious but non-life-threatening inju- ries. Durham Regional Police are looking for a woman in her 40s who was said to have been with the attack- ing dog. The Facebook poster added, "The (women own- er) is being described as In- dian decent in her 40's or 50's. We have also been told that this dog has acted ag- gressive towards people be- fore. She has been warned by other pedestrians walk- ing their animals not to walk the dog as she doesn't look like she is able to con- trol the dog." She added, "ALSO If you are the owner do the right thing and contact the police or animal services to pro- vide the medical records for the dog." Anyone with informa- tion can call police at 1-905- 579-1520 or Durham Region- al Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477. CRIME WOMAN ATTACKED BY DOG IN AJAX PARK AJAX - Police conducting a traffic stop Tuesday after- noon in Ajax seized a loaded handgun from the driver.

YOU CAN HELP: GTAFOODBANKS.CA Thank you to our campaign sponsors: CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND SENIORS. NEWS Stephanie Denholm — whose children are 14 and 16 —says human trafficking wasn’t on her radar. “I feel a bit embarrassed saying this, but I didn’t real- ly think it was something that was a threat to my kids,” she says. Then, one of her daugh- ter’s friends was befriended by a trafficker online — swift action from parents stopped the situation before it escalated. “I was really horrified when my daughter told me about it. It woke me up a bit. We, as parents, need to be armed with all the informa- tion,” said Denholm, ex- plaining why she took time out of her Saturday to come to the town hall. Despite more public awareness of human traf- ficking in recent years, the problem isn’t going away. Between April 2018 to April 2019, police in Dur- ham counted 128 human trafficking victims, 34 of whom were under age 18. Police stress those are only the ones who have come forward. In January, two Ajax men were charged with hu- man trafficking offences in connection with a woman in her 30s who was traf- ficked all over southern On- tario for months, and re- peatedly assaulted. In March, a man arrest- ed in Bowmanville had 19 charges laid against him, including human traffick- ing of girls as young as 14 and 15. Three Clarington residents were also charged with human trafficking in March, for sexually exploit- ing a 15-year-old girl. Police say Durham is a prime location for human trafficking, in part because there are 13 hotels between Pickering and Bowmanville —some of which cost as lit- tle as $80 a night and accept cash payment. “We see it all over Face- book, 15-year-old girls that are missing. These girls are mostly victims of human trafficking. As soon as I see that, it just sends me into a panic,” said Detective Const. Brad Chapman with the Durham regional police human trafficking unit. “These guys are literally predators.” Chapman fielded ques- tions from the public at the town hall meeting, explain- ing how traffickers ensnare victims — either through love, gifts and attention, or violence and force. He said it’s common for traffickers to prey on a young person’s insecurities. “What he does at the start, he wants all her hopes and dreams. They want the white picket fence, the dog, two kids, the fancy car. And later on, he uses that against them,” Chapman said. It’s a common miscon- ception that if someone isn’t physically held captive, they can just leave a traf- ficker. But experts say psy- chological manipulation, threats and isolation are powerful ways of trapping a victim. “Once the pictures are taken of them in lingerie and stuff like that, then they use that as a threat,” Chap- man explained, saying traf- fickers often cut victims off from their loved ones, delet- ing phone messages and so- cial media profiles. About 85 per cent of vic- tims identify their traffick- er as their boyfriend — something for parents to keep in mind as they watch out for red flags. “There is a lot of misin- formation about what traf- ficking looks like in Onta- rio, in Durham Region. This does not look like the movie Taken,” says Karly Church, who works with Victim Ser- vices of Durham Region as a human trafficking special- ist. “What it looks like is a relationship.” About 75 per cent of fe- male trafficking victims are under 18 — the age of re- cruitment can be as young as 12 or 13. Homeless and marginal- ized youth, and Indigenous youth, are often targeted, as well as young people who struggle with low self-es- teem, bullying, poverty, abuse and family issues. Durham police say traf- fickers are recruiting girls online, as well as at malls, high schools, libraries, group homes, bus stops and parties at hotels. In September 2018, the Durham Region Human Trafficking Coalition launched a new website that outlines warning signs to watch for, myths about human trafficking, who is targeted and where to get help. “I think the thing to know is that we should be talking to our kids about this, like we would talk to them about alcohol or drugs or anything like that,” said Whitby parent Roshan Pathirana. “We can’t afford to put our heads in the sand and think this isn’t happen- ing.” Organizers of the town hall say there are plans to host quarterly “Whitby First” town hall events, where experts are brought in to talk about topical is- sues.

Brad Chapman of the Durham Regional Police Human Trafficking Unit spoke during a town hall meeting held at the Brooklin Legion April 13 to discuss the issue of human trafficking. Chapman was joined by representatives from SafeHope Home and local politicians. Ryan Pfeiffer/Metroland THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division has been covering the human trafficking issue for years, writing about everything from the arrests of local traffickers, to the launch of SafeHope Home, which offers a long-term recovery program for women who have escaped trafficking. THE ISSUE: DESPITE INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING REMAINS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN DURHAM. LOCAL IMPACT: YOUNG PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS ARE AT RISK OF BECOMING HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS. dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | W e d n e s d a y , A p r i l 1 7 , 2 0 1 9 | 8 The Centennial Park baseball dia- monds will be upgraded this year, with fi- nancial help from the Pickering Men's Slow Pitch League. Planned renovations include removal of the backstop fencing and infield of the small west diamond and restoration of the area; replacing the backstop fencing and lighting of the main diamond in the east; and building an outfield fence and warn- ing track for the main diamond. Existing diamond lights will be removed and re- placed with a new LED sports field lighting system. Council on Monday approved costs and accepted the tender from low bidder Loc Pave Construction for $487,137.16, includ- ing HST. The net project cost - after HST rebate including tender, consulting costs and contingency funding to cover unfore- seen expenses such as poor soil conditions - is $511,713. Funds for the project were included in the 2018 parks capital budget, and financial contributions include $154,445 from the Pickering Men's Slow Pitch League, which established a reserve fund earning inter- est in 2007, with an initial donation of $125,000 to the city. More upgrades are planned for Centen- nial Park, on Brock Road south of Conces- sion Road 3. Prior to the tender for the baseball diamond renovations, a master plan for more site improvements was pre- pared to include the installation of a picnic shelter west of the park washrooms; acces- sible pathways connecting the parking lot, ball diamond, washrooms, picnic shelter and playground; as well as site grading and tree planting. The additional work not in- cluded in the tender was approved in the 2019 parks capital budget, and will be com- pleted under a separate contract later this year. In response to questions from Ward 3 Coun. Shaheen Butt, director of engineer- ing services Richard Holborn said the funding from the men's slow pitch league "shows the great relations we have with some of our associations."

BOYER HYUNDAI WHAT’SGOINGON WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON SOMEWHERE IN YOUR COMMUNITY? VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM Jason Liebregts/Metroland PICKERING - An April wind is whipping across Lake Ontario and Frenchman's Bay, sending a piece of scrap paper sailing into the air outside the Waterfront Bistro at the foot of Liverpool Road in Pickering's Nauti- cal Village. The parking lot at the closed res- taurant is empty, except for the trucks of the workers on site demolishing the interior. "We're taking down some partition walls," says Alan Gao of Tenkey Marina, owner of the building. "The ground floor will have an all-new floor plan." When warmer weather arrives, so too will crowds of people enjoying the Water- front Trail, the sandy beach and the splash pad at Millennium Square on the shores of the lake. Like the merchants operating the cafes and shops along Liverpool Road in the Nautical Village, Gao wants to be ready for the summer season, and is planning to have a renovated restaurant open in June. "This is a business," he says. "We do wor- ry the clients won't come back. But we can't make that judgment. What we want to do is something nice, something better." The closure of the former Waterfront Bistro and the departure of longtime restau- rateurs Mario Giorgio and Elaine Zubula- kis-Giorgio at the end of March followed a failed lease negotiation between the couple and Gao, who purchased the property and adjacent marina three years ago. While the Giorgios say they were prepared to do reno- vations, they'd been without a lease for four years. They told their staff March 5 they'd be closing the business and vacating the premises by the end of the month, after their lawyer advised them not to sign the terms of a lease they were given. "The whole thing is about money," says Gao of the failed lease negotiation. "We have mortgages." An appraiser put a suggested price on the building's tenancy, he says, and a new independent restaurant operator is coming in. He says he's not without empathy for the Giorgios, who purchased the business from Elaine's father George Zubulakis in 2005. "I understand the community loves them. But there will always be one day where something will happen like this." Gao and his wife give back to the commu- nity, he says, sponsoring the Pickering May- or's Gala. When the refurbished restaurant is open, including a takeout window for hungry pedestrians, Gao says he'll host an annual free barbecue for the community. He envisions community ice skating in win- ter on the small bay of water directly south of the restaurant's parking lot, and plans to erect a huge outdoor Christmas tree every year. "It's something we want to do," he says, adding the restaurant will host live bands, and outdoor light shows will be held in sum- mer. Already, the railings on the upper out- door decks that overlook the lake have been replaced, to make them safer and sturdier. "We've spent lots of money," says Gao. The banquet room upstairs will remain, but with a new hardwood floor. And al- though the sweeping staircase to the second floor will be kept, Gao says elevators will eventually be added to make the second sto- rey more accessible. Tenkey Marina next door has a new in- terlocking brick parking lot, and the restau- rant's parking lot will be upgraded, too. In all, Gao says, more than $500,000 is be- ing put into the building renovations. "It's going to be a nice restaurant once it's open," he says. Former employees of the Waterfront Bis- tro are encouraged to apply for jobs, he adds. "We do encourage former employees to come here." The renovated restaurant will have a modern feel and will be family friendly, says Gao, and the menu will include pasta, bur- gers, steaks, salads, and some Asian dishes in the trend of food fusion. Gao and his wife have three children, and the family lives in Pickering. He says he's confident the community will embrace the new restaurant. "It's a good city, and a good community with a multicultural diversity here ... I like it here. The city is booming. I don't want peo- ple in the community to misunderstand us."

DURHAM - David Knight, convicted of mur- der in the contract killing of his wife Carmela, is a man with an "empty soul" whose actions have devas- tated a family, a judge heard Thursday. "He was supposed to love and protect Carm, not murder her," Carmela's grieving mother, Franca Agosta, said during a sen- tencing hearing. "He had no mercy for Carmela, and the court should have no mercy for him." The April 11 hearing in Superior Court was some- what of a formality, given that Knight's conviction for first-degree murder in rela- tion to Carmela's 2014 death carries a mandatory sen- tence of life in prison with no parole eligibility for 25 years. But Justice Alex Sos- na is also required to sen- tence Knight for the other charges of which he's been convicted - conspiracy to commit murder and arson. Prosecutor Kristen Pol- lock called for sentences of 20 years for the conspiracy and six for arson, both to run concurrently with Knight's life sentence and 25-year parole ineligibility period. During a lengthy trial that began last fall in Osha- wa jurors heard that Knight, seeking to start a new life with his mistress in Florida, hired a man to kill Carmela, who had initi- ated divorce proceedings after finding out about the affair. The killer, Graham MacDonald, ambushed Carmela as she returned to her Pickering home after work on Sept. 15, 2014, beat- ing and strangling her to death. MacDonald, who was convicted of first-de- gree murder in early 2018 and is serving life in pris- on, doused Carmela's body with gasoline and set a fire in the garage in an appar- ent attempt to cover up the murder. Knight was the "puppet master" who instructed and abetted MacDonald, Pollock told the judge. "David Knight is irre- deemable," she said. "He has not expressed any re- morse for the atrocity he committed." Instead, Knight contin- ued after the murder to conspire with MacDonald, entering into a plan he thought would divert po- lice investigating the kill- ing. And at trial he took the witness stand in his own defence, repeatedly declar- ing his innocence. In an apparent rejection of that testimony, jurors convicted him in February of all the charges he faced. Knight's actions de- prived Carmela's family and friends - and particu- larly her sons, aged 10 and 12 at the time of her murder - of a loving and supportive woman, court heard Thursday. "She always found the good in people and was al- ways kind," a weeping Agosta told the judge in a victim impact statement. "She died terrified and alone, fighting for her life. "David came from noth- ing," Agosta said, looking over her shoulder at Knight, who sat stone- faced in the prisoner's dock. "He is still nothing, but an inmate in jail." Carmela's sister, Nancy Burridge, excoriated Knight for facilitating the murder of his own wife and the mother of his sons. "David has an empty soul and is an arrogant, de- spicable human being that does not deserve to be a fa- ther," she said. "Seeing Da- vid behind bars is a good look - like he always de- served to be there." 'DAVID KNIGHT HAS AN EMPTY SOUL': GRIEVING FAMILY SLAMS PICKERING KILLER AT SENTENCING David Knight has been found guilty of first degree murder in the death of his wife, Carmela, who was attacked and killed by a stranger more than four years ago in her Pickering home.

Council is part- nering with the Durham chapter of the Period Purse organization to help pro- vide menstrual products for marginalized groups and share education to eliminate the stigma sur- rounding menstruation. The issue was brought to town hall after an Ajax resident, Jen Thompson, heard about the organiza- tion on the radio."She brought it directly to the of- fice of the mayor and coun- cil," says council adminis- trative assistant, Devon Jarvis. "She thought it would be a fantastic oppor- tunity for the town to par- take in."Council is encour- aging the community to do- nate boxes of tampons, pads, liners, diva cups, large Ziploc bags and even motivational messages for those in need.

"Young people shouldn't have to be con- cerned about missing their education over something so natural," says Jarvis. "It's something that's very much in need and some- thing that's very over- looked. Some people just don't think it's a necessity- ."Jarvis also says the edu- cational aspect of the ini- tiative is important in or- der to eliminate the stigma around periods. "It's some- thing that's a natural part of life, it's not something to be ashamed of," she says. "With proper education to break the stigma, it can make people more comfort- able having a conversation about this and how to help your community." Part of eliminating the stigma, ac- cording to Jarvis, is to real- ize menstrual products are not cheap and are a neces- sity."How would you feel if you went into a public washroom and there was no toilet paper there? You had to pay for it - it's a ne- cessity, you need it. Having your period is just as natu- ral as going to the wash- room."The Period Purse was created in 2017 by Jana Girdauskas after she en- countered a person experi- encing homelessness who was in need of menstrual products. After filling one purse with menstrual and wellness products, she brought her efforts to Face- book and received 350 purs- es containing dona- tions.The organization is now a recognized not-for- profit in Toronto with chapters in Ontario and Saskatchewan. Jarvis says while they have only had open donations for a couple of days, two boxes contain- ing menstrual and well- ness products have already been filled."I'm thrilled with the response we've re- ceived," she says. "Even on social media we have been receiving lots of support and well wishes, the over- all response has been very positive."

SIGN UP NOW We’ve got a newsletter for that. Care about /newsletters I contemplate what world my daughters, aged four and 18 months, will live to see. A recent study by Credit Suisse concluded that most millennials will strug- gle to earn more money and find better jobs than their parents. Is this the beginning of a trend? Will future generations also struggle to find clean water, air, affordable food, and protection from in- creasingly severe and frequent weather disasters? Our climate is changing and its effects are visible here at home. In response, Hamilton, Kingston and other Canadian cit- ies have declared climate emer- gencies and are actively reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Quite the opposite here in Durham as regional council is seeking to burn an additional 20,000 tonnes of trash per year at the Durham York Energy Centre incinerator, a major carbon dioxide emitter. As Vancouver bans single-use plastics, Durham Region shies away. Staff concluded in an Au- gust 2018 report that a ban is a "piecemeal" solution that "could be challenged legally." Burn baby burn! Durham has wasted nearly a million dollars courting Amazon for an outlandish headquarter development project from a by- gone era; a sprawling office cam- pus adjacent to arterial roads, freeways and a hypothetical air- port, all on arable land. All that was missing was a monorail. De- spite its failure, the project mobi- lized developers and local offi- cials alike - finally, there was a case for an airport! The latest "made in Durham" absurdity is brought to you by the City of Pickering with its "Toron- to East Aerotropolis," a slick mar- keting campaign boasting urban sprawl, slow-motion drone foot- age of highway on-ramps and dis- ingenuous claims that building an airport, which will cost bil- lions, will address "the infra- structure deficit" and even im- prove resident "quality of life." The misconception that this air- port would serve passengers is nowhere dispelled. This will be a freight airport, subsidized by tax- payers, aimed to profit private in- terests under the vastly exagger- ated guise of job creation. Have we still not learned the lessons from SNC Lavalin, Bombardier and GM? As municipal governments in Durham, emboldened by Queen's Park, are seeking to bulldoze the Greenbelt and valuable farmland for sprawls of McMansions, a boondoggle airport and congest- ed roads - all massive carbon di- oxide producers - what will be left for future generations? The global mobilization on cli- mate instigated by Swedish teen Greta Thunberg is a force to be reckoned with. It highlights the need for young, lucid women like her to enter politics and disrupt the old boys club - not conform to their ranks. We must nurture, ed- ucate and encourage our girls to engineer a better world. Our leg- acy must not be an airport. It must be ... our daughters.

La Ferrara, 69, says he decided to apply for the show after being chal- lenged by his granddaugh- ter when he encouraged her to follow her own culi- nary dreams. He also says he hoped to become the old- est MasterChef in Canadi- an history. "When you get to a cer- tain age, people expect you to stop," says La Ferrara. "I let everyone know I'm just getting started." La Ferrara says another reason he wanted to win the competition is so he could buy his daughter a restau- rant for her and the family. "Maybe this would cre- ate an opportunity to make their dreams come true," he says. "Mine already came true on MasterChef." MasterChef Canada aired a two-hour première April 8 with 18 home cooks competing for the $100,000 prize. Despite cutting him- self during the audition challenge, La Ferrara im- pressed the judges with his Italian-inspired cooking, earning his spot among the top 12 competing for the ti- tle. He also won one of the first elimination challeng- es. "To this day, I have no idea how I did it," says La Ferrara, adding he had a lot of his food already prepped. "You just got to focus on what you need to do." Originally born in southern Italy, La Ferrara moved to Canada when he was 17 and says he consid- ers himself a self-taught cook. He says his desire is to improve his skills and in- spire his grandchildren to love cooking too. "You fail a bunch of times before you get it right," says La Ferrara. "I wanted to see if I could get better at it and pass that passion to my grandkids." Previously, La Ferrara was a teacher for about 35 years. He started out teach- ing electronics before he furthered his education and began teaching com- puter science. He taught post-secondary, secondary and high school grades. La Ferrara has also been a longtime soccer coach for college, university and pro- vincial teams. Currently, he says he coaches the Whitby Iro- quois Soccer Club's youth boy's team. "MasterChef is good, but I need something else," he laughs. La Ferrara says when the first episode aired, many of the boys from his team texted him asking if he was OK, not knowing the show was filmed earlier in the fall. Filming has concluded and La Ferrara, who won't divulge how he did, is back home in Whitby but he says the experience of being on MasterChef Canada will never leave him. "It has been and contin- ues to be amazing," he says. "The MasterChef family has made my life reach be- yond anything I could have imagined." The show airs Monday nights on CTV.

DURHAM - Durham po- lice breached the Charter rights of a woman charged with impaired driving causing death by illegally obtaining results of tests taken at hospital after the crash, Ontario's Court of Appeal has found. The ruling means Brynn Alexandra Camp- bell's acquittal, registered after a judge excluded key evidence including blood samples indicating signifi- cant levels of alcohol dur- ing her trial in 2017, is up- held. The Crown appealed Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass's exclusion of the evidence. The Court of Appeal found that conduct of offi- cers investigating the fatal crash amounted to a seri- ous breach of Campbell's rights. "The police intentional- ly obtained information from hospital staff in breach of medical confi- dentiality, and relied on that information to obtain a warrant that otherwise could not have been is- sued," the April 3 ruling, by Justices Katherine van Rensburgh, David Watt and David Brown, reads. Campbell was driving eastbound on Taunton Road near Grandview Street in Oshawa in the ear- ly morning hours of Oct. 27, 2013, when her Chev Cobalt collided with an Oldsmobile that was being driven the wrong way on the divided roadway by an 83-year-old woman. The senior was pro- nounced dead at hospital. Campbell, 21 at the time, was also taken to hospital, where doctors ordered urine and blood samples be taken from her. Campbell at first refused the blood sample, citing an aversion to needles, but acquiesced after being told it was "hos- pital procedure," the ruling notes. Police obtained search warrants that gave them access to those samples; they formed the basis of the impaired driving causing death charge laid against Campbell a month later. In a document used to justify the search warrants, police said an officer who was present at the hospital the night of the crash "over- heard" a nurse saying that a urine sample taken from Campbell indicated high ethanol levels, indicative of alcohol consumption. But at trial, Campbell's father, who was also pre- sent at the hospital, said he'd heard the officer ask the nurse for the urine test results. Justice Glass, citing in- consistencies in the offi- cer's testimony, found the father's version of events more credible. He found that police, based on infor- mation gathered by the offi- cer, concluded Campbell was impaired and "justified their actions after the fact by getting a warrant," says the Appeal Court decision. Glass's findings result- ed in evidence obtained as a result of the warrants ex- cluded. The Crown called no other evidence and Campbell was acquitted. In Wednesday's ruling, the Appeal Court panel confirmed Glass's finding that the actions of police amounted to a significant breach of Campbell's Char- ter rights. "The police intention- ally obtained information from hospital staff in breach of medical confi- dentiality and relied on that information to obtain a warrant that otherwise could not have been is- sued," the ruling says. "To admit the evidence in this case would permit the po- lice to obtain evidence il- legally and then, as ob- served by the trial judge, attempt to justify this ac- tion by getting a warrant. Public confidence in the administration of justice is best served in this case through the exclusion of evidence obtained in vio- lation of the Charter."

Wendy Jennings wjennings@starmetrolandmedia.com • 905-215-0523 Geo-Targeting WHITBY - The Motor City Cat Club is celebrating its 41st birthday at the Whit- by Curling Club - and club member and breeder, Cheryl Metcalfe, is sure it won't disappoint. "It's like Toddlers and Ti- aras but for cats," says Met- calfe. "It's also a really good way to learn about cats." The club promotes the breeding of purebred cats and the showing, education and promotion of well-being for all cats, including house- hold pets. The event will be hosted Saturday, April 27 and Sun- day, April 28 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The club will be hosting its 62nd and 63rd cat shows, including pedigree and house cats. There will also be a special junior ex- hibitor class for ages five to 16 on Saturday. "It's also a fun social event for the breeders, we love talking about our cats," Metcalfe adds with a laugh. Multiple vendors will al- so be selling products rang- ing from clothing, cat toys, scented melting wax, and more. This year, the Hu- mane Society of Durham Region will be among ven- dors selling raffle tickets to raise money for its organiza- tion. "It's the first time since I've been here that we had the humane society," says Metcalfe. "It's important the public not just learn about the purebreds, but the res- cues." President of the Motor City Cat Club, Jan Coburn, says the event is being "heavily promoted" and ex- pects a turnout of around 300 to 500 people. To put on an event of this scale, Coburn relies on the club's members, the media, vendors and sponsors to make it all happen. "It's a heck of a lot of hard work, but we love it," says Coburn. "We hope the public will come out and enjoy it." Admission costs are $8 for adults (13 and up), $5 for seniors and children, and $20 for families including two adults and two children. The club is located at 815 Brock St. N. in Whitby. "Come out, meet the breeders and meet the cats," urges Metcalfe. "It's a hoot!"

Regular operations will resume Tuesday, April 23, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. DURHAM - As an intern fresh out of Durham Col- lege's journalism and mass media program, you could imagine my surprise when my editor gave me a chance to write a review on A&W's Beyond Meat burger and breakfast sandwich. You mean I get an oppor- tunity to do my two favou- rite things - eat and write? After seeing the commer- cials and the acclaim on- line, I was up for the task. Beyond Meat is an L.A. company creating plant- based meat substitutes that many say are comparable to the real thing. Their products are available in places such as the U.S., Aus- tralia and the U.K. but are only available in Canada at select restaurants and spe- cialty stores. While I have no dietary restrictions, I have had my share of vegetarian and vegan meals. I was in- trigued by the concept of a soy-less, meatless burger. I ordered both the Be- yond Meat burger and Be- yond Meat sausage break- fast sandwich. Before I had a chance to try the food it- self, I was first hit by the price. For the burger alone, A&W charges $7.90 after taxes. For reference, a full Mama Burger combo (a sin- gle beef patty burger, fries and a drink) is $10.09 after taxes. The breakfast sandwich wasn't so gentle on the wal- let either, costing $6.09 after tax, over a dollar more than any of the other breakfast sandwiches with sausage or bacon. This brought my order total to exactly $13.99. I started with the break- fast sandwich and upon first bite, I had a hard time identifying the difference in the Beyond Meat sausage and the standard one. As I continued eating however, I could definitely tell there were noticeable taste and texture differences. Comprised of a combina- tion of pea protein, rice, mung bean and other ingre- dients, the texture is very similar to sausage, just slightly denser and less greasy. I also found the sig- nature peppery sausage spice seemed to be more pungent than normal. Otherwise, it was very much like any other break- fast sandwich and I defi- nitely enjoyed it. The burger is what real- ly surprised me. A&W is my favourite fast-food place, so I expected it to be hard to top my personal favourite, the Teen Burger. But the Beyond Meat burger gave it a run for its money. When I bit into it, I was positive it was a standard burger. It wasn't until I tried the patty on its own that I could tell the differ- ence. The "meat" was quite soft while the edges of the patty were a bit tough from the cooking process. Much like the breakfast sandwich, other than a few textural and taste differ- ences, I really enjoyed the burger and would recom- mend it. I should inform pro- spective buyers while the patties are vegan, the sandwiches themselves are not. To make either truly vegan, the burger has to be made without mayo and the breakfast sandwich without egg and cheese. Overall, I enjoyed both products with the excep- tion of the cost. If you want to try these products, I'd recommend you get the most of your money and have yourself a combo to make the inflated cost worth it. Both products have the hungry intern stamp of ap- proval. FOOD AND DRINK REVIEW: A&W BEYOND MEAT PRODUCTS COMPARED BY TASTE AND VALUE The Beyond Meat burger at A&W. The meatless option has grown in popularity at the fast food restaurant.
