Lemonade Anyone?

Three Brooklin girls, (L to R) Marissa Bartlett, Taya Wilkins, and Kayleigh Frame, set up a lemonade (and cupcake) stand on Cachet Blvd a couple of weeks ago to raise funds for the Sick Kids Foundation.

They’re competitive dancers who’ve danced together for six years. One dance competition they were in supported the Sick Kids Foundation and so they chose it for their fundraiser. In September, they will present the more than $650 they earned from the stand to a Sick Kids Gala in Richmond Hill. They will also be dancing in that gala.

I spent about 15 hockey sea-sons working with a gentle-

man whose opinions were best ex-pressed by this: I don’t understand. He’d apply it in any manner of cir-cumstance where someone of oth-erwise sound mind was either bereft of common sense or just couldn’t/wouldn’t follow simple instructions.

His words come to mind often these days.

Watford St.

It’s hard to say what the thinking was behind creating bike lanes along Watford in front of Winchester Public and St. Leo Catholic schools. They don’t strike me as a traffic calming measure on a road popu-lated by herds of children, parents, and cars on school days, about 190 of them a year. I also don’t envision

many elementary littluns trundling down Watford to school on their bikes.

A debate has raged about whether or not the street should have more stop signs (cheap) or a roundabout (pricey) since drivers just can’t be trusted. Moreover, our ward coun-cillor, Rhonda Mulcahy, has ex-pressed clear support for photo radar in all school zones as have other Whitby councillors. There’s no cheap way to address an issue concerning human behaviour that goes awry.

Watford is a two-lane street, the

new bike lanes notwithstanding, with a posted speed limit of 40. What’s been added are signs in-dicating school crosswalks as well as ones indicating that drivers must yield to bikers before turning right onto side streets.

Frankly, I’ve had my fill of clever graphical signage. The first time I drove down Watford after the changes, I had to examine them a little longer than was comfortable. What’s wrong with a large sign that spells out, “VEHICLES MUST YIELD TO CYCLISTS!”?

Stay tuned if there’s any improve-ment in driving habits. Neverthe-less, I don’t understand...

The 412

As if this poor, beleaguered toll road hasn’t been picked on enough, we keep hearing how local govern-ments are all after Premier Ford to address the problem. The provin-cial PCs made no mention of the toll road during the campaign while local Liberal and NDP candidates did, to no avail of course. Lorne Coe won handily. We hear nothing from him on the issue nor is there any-thing on his web site.

I don’t understand…

Meanwhile, in Oshawa

The Durham District School Board opens a new elementary school in north Oshawa and names it after - a horse. Welcome to Northern Danc-er Public School.

It names another one in Ajax after a famous challenger of segregation in 1940s Nova Scotia, Viola Des-mond. In fact, her photo will appear on our ten dollar bill.

A hero and - a horse. I don’t under-stand.

HMCS Oriole docked in Whit-by on Aug. 10, one stop on its three-month tour of Canadian port cities along the St. Law-rence Seaway and the Great Lakes from June 13 to Sept. 22. As part of its Whitby visit, the ship was open to the public for tours on Aug. 11 and 12.

Built in 1921, the HMCS Oriole was originally laid down as the Oriole IV, the successor in a line of vessels named Oriole that were in service as the flagships for the Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto. During the Sec-

ond World War, the ship was chartered by the Royal Cana-dian Navy as a training vessel.

In 1949, it was again chartered by the navy as a new recruit training vessel, and subse-quently moved to Halifax in 1951. It was officially commis-sioned HMCS Oriole on June 19, 1952, and two years later the navy moved it to CFB Esqui-malt to become a training ves-sel to the Naval Officer Training Centre.

Whitby Fire and Emergency Servic-es received a donation of more than $16,000 from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Cana-da. Mayor Don Mitchell, Members of Council and Whitby Fire Chief Dave Speed were pleased to accept this do-nation.

The funds received will support the purchase of more than 120 new partic-ulate blocking flash hoods that will en-hance the safety of Whitby firefighters when responding to emergency calls.

The hoods, also known as Balaclavas, are a protective barrier that firefighters place over their heads and under their helmets when entering a fire environ-ment. The new hoods provide protec-tion against air contaminates often found in fires.

Submitted by Stanton MacKellarMarketing & Publicity Director, Whitby Ringette Association

Four Brooklin girls, (L to R) Hannah

Gill, Paige Jeffcoat, Jordan MacK-ellar, and Lauren Nagy, joined up with other Whitby and Ajax players to form the Durham Wildstars un-der-14 ringette team that travelled

to Finland to compete for the Fin-land Lions Cup.

The Wildstars are only the second Canadian team to win the champi-onship in its 18-year history and the first at the U-14 age level.

The team toured four countries in 12 days: Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and Iceland. Highlights included the spectacular views of the geysers and the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, and the old world charm and narrow cobble streets in Tallinn, Estonia and Stockholm. The Wildstars started the tourna-ment winning their first three first-round games. With a place in the final assured, the last game of the round robin was split 2-2 against the Helsinki Haukat (Hawks), setting the stage for an exciting rematch

against the Hawks in the final. Through great goaltending from Lauren Nagy and supported by a tight defence, the Canadian girls managed to hold on to a two goal lead till half time. In the second half, their confidence returned and the Canadian girls wore down the defences of the Finish opposition, scoring five unanswered goals to seal the win.

“There was obvious, mutual respect between the girls,” said Christine Wozniak, Paige Jeffcoat’s mother. “When the Haukat team all joined the Wildstars on the ice for their celebrations at the end, they were genuinely happy for our girls. That is ringette. I loved it when a group of the Hawks started to do the Durham Dance our girls had taught them a couple of nights earlier.”

One not-so-talked-about vegan su-perfood is nutritional yeast. It’s been in health food stores for years, but you don’t hear much about it.

Nutritional yeast has remarkable health benefits in that it’s packed with essential vitamins and miner-als. The yeast is grown on beets then dehydrated. But don’t let the word “yeast” scare you. Since it is plant-derived and dried out, it’s free of the harmful candida that can wreak havoc on your body and di-gestive system.

It’s high in 15 different minerals and

18 amino acids. In fact, it’s one of the best non-animal sources of folic acid and is a rich source of vitamin B complex that helps in manag-ing stress levels and maintaining a good metabolic rate. Vegans are often told to add nutritional yeast to their diets to get B12. However, B12 does not naturally occur in nutrition-al yeast. It needs to be fortified with B12. So be sure to check the label to ensure this is so.

Protein sourceNutritional yeast is also low in sodi-um and fat, gluten-free, and doesn’t contain any added sugars or preser-

Plant-Based Eating by Sheree Nicholson

nutritional yeast

vatives. It’s not only a great source of amino acids but also a complete protein source. It contains all the essential amino acids the body can-not produce along with the amino acids the body can.

It’s also only 45 calories per two tablespoons, making it one of the lowest calorie sources of protein out there. Two tablespoons con-tain nine grams of complete pro-tein. Some “high protein” foods for vegans or vegetarians are actually higher in fat or carbs. For instance, nuts and seeds are often praised for their protein content, but they contain much more fat than they do actual protein.

In the plant-based world, nutri-tional yeast is often used in place of parmesan cheese as it has a ‘cheesy’ flavour. I know people who sprinkle it on popcorn and salads. One woman claims to eat it by the spoonful! I personally find the taste a bit strong if eaten on its own or in large amounts.

Distinct flavourIf you’re new to adding nutritional yeast to foods, start with smaller amounts to see if you like it. It does have a distinctly sharp flavour and so I generally add a little bit less than a recipe calls for. I do add it to chili or pasta dishes and sprinkle it on toast with mashed avocado.

Try this recipe for zucchini fries from http://foodnetwork.ca

Combine the following: • 1 /2 cup almond flour • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast • ½ tsp onion powder • ½ cayenne powder (or less) • ½ tsp saltCut 2 zucchinis into ¼ inch thick fries.

Toss them in 2 tbsp of Dijon mus-tard, then bread them in the almond flour mixture.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 425 degrees

By Kim BaileyBrooklin once had a railroad that became somewhat of a legend.

The PW & PP Railway (Port Whit-by and Port Perry) was later unof-ficially branded the ‘Nip and Tuck’ line. It ran from dockside in Port Whitby to Port Perry with stations in Whitby, Brooklin, Myrtle, Man-chester, Prince Albert and Port Perry, with the last three towns locked in a rivalry of politics and business. When later extended to Lindsay, it became the WPP & L Railway (Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay.) More stations were added in Seagrave, Sonya and Manilla Junction. Later, a connec-tion linked it to the newer T&N line, east of Blackwater.

The sod turning ceremony, con-ducted by Prince Arthur, was on October 6, 1869. The southern portion, although slowed by a bankruptcy and an unplanned railway gauge conversion, was completed on August 31, 1870, with the first train arriving in Port Perry in the spring of 1872.

Two unconfirmed sources relate how the railroad got its nickname.

One says it was because it was operated ‘by the seat of its pants.’ The other was because it was questionable if the train could power through a tricky, high grade section of track through the Oak Ridges Moraine between Myrtle and Manchester.

The section from Port Perry to Manilla Junction was abandoned in 1937 as traffic from Lindsay was directed west to the newer T&N line. The rest of the Nip and Tuck line was pulled up in 1941 with its steel going into the war ef-fort.

Durham Regional Chair (Select 1, 1 will be elected)XMeet the Candidates for the 2018 Municipal Election

I’m Tom Dingwall and I’m running for Durham Regional Chair. I am not a politician, but

I have dedicated my life to ensuring the safety and security of the residents of Durham Re-gion.

I’ve worked in every part of this region as a Po-lice Officer and a leader for the past 26 years, lived my whole life and raised my family here. My platform comes directly from working with and listening to everyday people across the entire Region. It also comes from years of for-mal training and a hands-on awareness of how this region actually works. My platform includes:• Opposing tax increases and implementing

known efficiencies to improve services• Establishing a Regional-Provincial partner-

ship approach to Mental Health and Addic-tion issues

• Developing a region-wide strategy for sup-porting seniors, especially in smaller com-munities

• Seeking out and implementing innovative ideas on improving transit and social pro-grams

• Providing practical, timely and effective support for all of our front-line services

• Proactively work to acquire and service employment lands to attract good paying jobs close to home

My entire career has been based on deliver-ing security, transparency and accountability to Durham Region and I will bring these prin-ciples with me into office.

Tom DingwallHampton, Ontario

Durham Region candi-date: Peter Neal for Dur-ham Region chairman Regional government was and is simply anoth-er level of taxation. Why the individual communi-ties were assumed to be

incompetent of managing their affairs and that a senior level of government was required sug-gests that politicians love to build hierarchies

whether they can validate such existences as useful and needed.

The chairman and finance position are costing the taxpayer well over $500,000 a year. Ri-diculous. The councillors are part time earning full time wages and big pensions.

The province is is looking at this problem start-ing with the Toronto council.

How has the Regional government seriously improved the lives of those living in the com-munities in terms of environment, efficient transportation ,superior health ,fire,police ser-vices, parks, encouragement of local small

businesses instead of national chains and for-eign businesses? I am for justifiable taxation that takes into account modern environmental and technologies for the benefit of future gen-erations.

The money saved from putting it in these politi-cians pockets could be used on front line new police gang units to fight the crime war that is coming east to our own streets . We are all tired of the political talk and debat-ing.

Let the staff do their jobs ,quit trying to create more expensive consulting work .

Batty Now 3rd In The World

There are few who ever get the op-portunity to set a goal such as this: Move up 20 spots in the world rank-ings. But that was mountain bike racer Liam Mulcahy’s goal before competing in the recent World Cup event in Mont Sainte Anne, Que-bec, his first venture onto the World Cup stage.

Did he achieve it? Indeed he did, jumping from 62nd to 41st in the world U23 rankings for the sport. The 21 year old, who will finish his advanced business diploma this year at Durham College, managed to complete the six-lap, 4.1 km, course in around 90 mins. (The win-ner finished in 1:17:44 and the 25

finishers after him were recorded as being up to 11:37 mins slower than that.)

“This was definitely the hardest I’ve ever raced,” he said. “It was very steep and took a ton of effort. The downhills are very technical. You don’t really have time to recover on a course like this.”

Mulcahy competed in the provincials last week, finishing second, and is currently ranked fourth in Canada. His objective is to compete in more World Cup events while completing his schooling at Durham and then UOIT.

Home sales and prices rise in Toronto region for a second

straight monthIn a sign that the Toronto area real estate market is in recovery mode, year-over-year resale home prices and sales rose for a second consecutive month in July. The aver-age selling price in Durham reached $584,131 last month, a 2.52% increase over the average selling price during the same period in 2017. “Durham continues to offer the best housing options for buyers and still offers some of the most desirable real estate value in the GTA,” said Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) President Dennis Roberts.”

“We have certainly experienced an increase in demand for ownership housing so far this summer. it appears that some people who initially moved to the sidelines due to the psychological impact of the (Ontario) Fair Housing Plan and changes to mortgage lending guidelines have re-entered the market,” said Jason Mercer, the board’s direc-tor of market analysis.

The number of home sales also rose 18.6% year over year in July, while new list-ings declined 1.8%. Canadians are becoming more confident in the outlook for the economy, real estate prices, and their finances according to the weekly Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Confidence Index. More people are searching for homes. Points2 Homes, one of Canada’s leading property search websites has seen a strong growth in visits in 2018 to July. They say that it reached a record 6 million visits in the month, a 47% rise in a year, based on Google Analytics data. Market trends indicate that we will be anticipating an increase in activity again in the fall!
