Thousands from the shores of Lake Huron east to Kingston remained without power fol- lowing an ice storm that blew across Ontario the evening of Dec. 21. In a release at 3 a.m., Toronto Hydro said 254,000 customers remained in the dark. "Tree damage is extensive and worse than originally anticipated. It is slowing down the pace of restoration," the release said. Some Toronto media outlets reported it could be Christmas Day, or later, before power is fully restored to area residents. In New Brunswick, about 7,200 customers were without power Monday morning. The freezing rainstorm that hit Saturday night and Sunday morning walloped much of southern and eastern Ontario, southern Que- bec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. It reached Nova Scotia later on Sunday and a freezing ram warning continued for much of the Maritimes early Monday morning. After the storm passed through areas, subsequent winds felled even more trees and with them more power lines. Cities and towns along the Lake Ontario shoreline took the brunt of the storm. Sunday afternoon, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne offered the "full support" of the prov- ince to affected communities and Prime Minis- ter Stephen Harper tweeted, "Thoughts are with those without power due to the ice storm - please stay safe Ontario Provincial Police and other agencies were advising people not to venture outdoors unless absolutely necessary.

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK RELEASE DATE: OCT 5TH—OCT 11TH, 2013 PLAN NUMBER 7-3-943 OLD WORLD ELEGANCE Arch -topped windows and intricate wood detailing lend this two-storey family home a touch of old-world elegance. Inside, though, everything is up-to-date, with all the appurtenances a modern family requires. Entrance is through a covered porch, protective in inclement weather, and into a foyer with a den and powder room immediately to the left. The den is ideally located to serve as a home office, and looks out onto a covered porch, spacious enough for a pair of rockers and some containers of greenery. Beyond the U-shaped stairway to the second floor is a coat closet, and through an archway is great room, located at the back of the home. A room for all seasons, the great room boasts a corner fireplace and enjoys access to a covered terrace. Adjoining this covered terrace is another terrace, not covered, and overlooked by the dining room's large windows — just the spot for al fresco meals in the warmer months. Separated from the great room and dining room only by a large prep island, the kitchen features an efficient L-shaped counter configuration. The window over the sink — always a welcome bonus — has an extra -deep sill for plants and collectibles. The spacious pantry is tucked into a nook behind by a doorway that also leads to the laundry room, where built-in shelving will go a long way to eradicate any wash -day blues. The master suite, which also enjoys access to the covered terrace, boasts a window seat, inviting its occupants to curl up with a good book. The en -suite includes a soaker tub, for a touch of spa -like luxury, as well as a corner shower. Access to the generous walk-in closet, which includes built-in shelves, is through the en -suite.
