Patterson St. burglary suspects wanted
Police are looking for two people in connection with a break-in at a Patterson St. home. Two people entered the home through an unlocked door at about 9:40 a.m. Tuesday. Nobody was home. A purse containing cash, cards and identification was stolen. The first suspect is a white woman, 5’7” to 5’8”, 160 pounds, wearing black and grey tights, black hooded sweatshirt, grey shirt and running shoes. The second is a white male, 5’8”, 200 pounds, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, jeans, a red shirt and running shoes. Anyone with information can call 705-876-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or online at www.stopcrimehere. ca. The break-in also prompted police to issue a reminder to keep doors and windows locked.
Derek Andreoli will seek the nomination for the Progressive Conservatives in the next provincial election for PeterboroughKawartha.
Andreoli, 31, is a mechanical engineer and the husband of Kayla. They live in the west end of Peterborough with their threeyear-old daughter.
Andreoli has launched a website, DerekAndreoli.ca, to introduce himself to the public.
He may be a familiar face to many, though: Andreoli was born and raised in Peterborough.
He attended St. Peter Secondary School (where he met Kayla). Later he studied mechanical engineering at the University of Windsor.
Early on, he aspired to a career in the auto-making industry; that’s what brought him to Windsor. He worked in Michigan and in Detroit, and he and his wife also lived in Windsor for awhile.
But then he decided to pursue other areas of engineering, and he and his wife moved back to Peterborough.
She now works at RBC, and he’s a project manager at BWXT Nuclear Energy Canada (formerly General Electric’s nuclear division, until it was bought out in December).
Andreoli has also worked for Siemens Milltronics and for General Electric’s motor division.
“I’ve worked for some great employers,” he said. “I call them dynasty industries, in Peterborough.”
Moving back and paying taxes compelled him to pay close attention to Peterborough politics, Andreoli said.
“You start to see what you like and what you don’t like,” he said, in terms of policy-making and local affairs.
Now’s the time to run, he said: his family is encouraging his political aspirations, and he has “a great employer” who’s also fully supportive.
“I am new to the process, but I know that timing is critical,” he said.
Also seeking the nomination is Ryan Moore, 38, a local farmer and auto-parts sales representative with NAPA Canada.
At least one other person says he’s interested, too.
Nic Cunningham, a local consultant in economic development, told
he’s been asked by many people to seek the nomination (although he wasn’t available for interview Wednesday).
The Progressive Conservatives haven’t chosen a date yet for a nomination meeting.
Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal, the minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs, told this week he hasn’t decided yet whether he plans to run again in 2018 for the Liberals.
The next provincial election is June 7, 2018. Derek Andreoli, candidate for the Progressive Conservative nomination for the provincial Peterborough-Kawartha riding.
