Home My WebLink AboutNA2011_10_19Ontario’s landfill nightmare DON CAMPBELL AND THANA DHARMARAJAH newsroom@durhamregion.com Trash Troubles, a special Metroland investigative series, looks at how well Ontario municipalities are diverting waste, coping with shrinking landfill space and explores potential solutions. This is the first of three parts. BROCK TOWNSHIP -- Bob Beacock ignores the overpowering stench. He walks into a pile of sticky, torn garbage bags dumped on top of one of Ontario’s heaping landfill sites. Dozens of seagulls snap up morsels of trash as Mr. Beacock unearths an umbrella, electrical wires, a plastic Canola oil container and a 20-litre plastic pail. He scoops up a battery with his shov- el. “There’s a real no-no,” says the Brock Town- ship landfill operator. “I don’t know how many times we tell the public. There’s one thing I hate seeing in a landfill is any battery.” These items could have been diverted through one of Ontario’s provincewide waste diversion programs. But they ended up here. Programs such as the blue box may have lulled Ontarians into believing they’re doing all they can to help the environment and reduce waste. But Trash Troubles -- a Metroland Special Report -- shows we aren’t being as diligent as we think. Provincewide, 55 per cent of garbage that could be recycled ends up in landfills instead. As a result, landfills are filling up fast and we are on the brink of a waste disposal crisis, the Associa- tion of Municipalities of Ontario says. RESIDENTS MIGHT NOT BE AS DILIGENT AS THEY THINK WITH RECYCLING See LANDFILLS page 10 RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND OSHAWA -- All of Durham Region’s residential blue box materials come here, the Durham Material Recovery Facility in Whitby. Opened in 2008, the facility handles more than 50,000 tonnes of paper, cardboard, aluminum and plastic annually. It uses a combination of opti- cal sorting devices and manual labour to separate, sort and bundle materials that are then sent to companies across Durham and North America. facebook.com/newsdurham twitter.com/newsdurham Pressrun 54,400 • 52 pages • Optional 3-week delivery $6/$1 newsstand P ICKER I NG News Adver tiserT H E Wednesday, October 19, 2011 UP TO INSTANT REBATE 20%2020%%SAV E withthepurchaseof qualifying Kitchenaid®Major Appliances.* *Prices have been displayed to reflect all possible discounts & rebates.

PeoPle Bursary puts police dream in reach for Durham teen Durham Children’s Aid Foundation hands out 43 bursaries, up from one in 2004 JilliAn Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- For as long as Jennika Girard can remember, she has wanted to be a police officer. As a child, she used to wave at passing police cruisers and imagine having a job where she could help people. But, it was a dream that often seemed unattainable for the local girl, who spent the first 10 years of her life in a home “where you could tell something was wrong.” Ms. Girard, now 18, recalls living with a mother who abused drugs and alcohol, dressed her in clothes four sizes too small and didn’t care if she went to school or not. “I was a troublemaker, I was failing school, I wasn’t being taken care of,” Ms. Girard says. “I didn’t really understand at the time, but I needed help.” Durham Children’s Aid Society removed Ms. Girard from her home when she was 10 and placed her with family friends who provided foster care and eventually adopt- ed her. As a teenager, her life took a 360-degree turn. Ms. Girard says she started thriving at school, playing soccer and participating in Air Cadets. “It was a big change, I learned that what I had before wasn’t love,” she says. Today, Ms. Girard is in her second and final year of the police foundations pro- gram at Sir Sandford Fleming College, working toward a goal of being a military police officer or RCMP officer. She says she loves the physical challeng- es of the course and is fascinated by the Criminal Code. It’s a huge step for a youth coming from a CAS background. A survey conducted though the Ontar- io Association of Children’s Aid Societ- ies shows less than 48 per cent of youth in CAS care finish high school by age 21 com- pared with 81 per cent of the general pop- ulation. And, only about 20 per cent of CAS youth go on to post-secondary education com- pared with 40 per cent of youth overall. For the past eight years Durham Chil- dren’s Aid Foundation has been trying to improve those odds by offering post-sec- ondary education bursaries. The program started in 2004 with one bursary and has grown by leaps and bounds to include 43 this year. Ms. Girard received a $1,000 bursary last year and another one this fall, which she says helped cover the hefty cost of tuition, books and transportation to and from school. “My (adoptive) parents, they didn’t plan to have children. They didn’t have money saved for college, it threw them for a loop,” she explains. Some bursaries are sponsored by local businesses while others come from dona- tions made to the foundation. The bursary Ms. Girard received is named in honour of Durham Regional Police Superintendent Paul Martin, who is a former president of the board for Dur- ham CAS. As a police officer he says it was espe- cially meaningful to award the money to a police foundations student. “Kids in (CAS) care are at a huge dis- advantage, they’re taken out of the fam- ily structure and they face all these addi- tional challenges in life,” Supt. Martin says. “These bursaries are a hand up. They say ‘we recognize the talent you have and we’re here to help you.’” Durham Children’s Aid Foundation is always looking for more businesses and corporations to sponsor bursaries. to make a donation or learn more, visit : visit www.durhamcaf.ca JAson liebregts / MetrolAnD WHitBY -- Durham Children’s Aid society has seen a big increase in the number of bursaries it is able to give to youth.

ADVERTISEMENT MANDI HARGRAVE mhargrave@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The threat of rain couldn’t keep families away from Ajax’s annual Pumpkin- ville celebration on Saturday. From a haunt- ed house to a petting zoo there was just too much to say no to. “I’ve heard about it over the years and thought it would be a lot of fun,” said Bever- ley McLeod who was attending with her hus- band George and grandson Cameron Car- tlidge. Cameron’s first stop of the day was learn- ing to milk a cow. It was a fake cow, but that didn’t mean it was child’s play. “It wasn’t easy,” said the 6 year old. “You had to squeeze from the bottom.” Another hands-on activity allowed kids to make their own slime or silly putty. “It’s nice to see them amused at that age still,” said Christine Good as she snapped a picture of her 11-year-old son’s attempt at making silly putty. “Is this what it’s suppose to look like?” Phil- lip Good asked the Mad Science instructor as he continued stirring the ingredients. The Good’s have been attending Pumpkin- ville for the past three years. “It’s funny how they’re still afraid of the haunted house,” said Ms. Good. Attempting to make slime after a not-so- successful run with silly putty, Phillip said, “Afraid? No. I just don’t want people jumping out at me.” One place he didn’t have to worry about that was at the petting zoo area. Maybe just a friendly nibble from a pygmy goat or the alpacas. This year’s featured event was a martial arts dance demonstration, Kung Fu Panda. Pumpkinville also offered wagon rides, boun- cy castles and of course, a pumpkin patch. Next year Ms. Good would like to see an area to drop off food donations. “It’s a free event so they could ask peo- ple to bring a food donation. People want to donate.” FREE COMPUTER TRAINING COURSES FOR RESIDENTS IN DURHAM REGION CLASSES FILL QUICKLY.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, a variety of speakers and groups will be on hand at the Pickering Town Centre to highlight different issues faced by residents within the disabled com- munity. Guest speakers and performers include Robert Pio Hajjar, Paralympian ath- lete Tracey Ferguson, Anthony Lue, a Lions Foundation Guide Dog demonstration, rep- resentatives of Durham Regional Police chil- dren’s games and a musical performance by singer/songwriter Justin Hines. “We want to promote awareness of disabili- ties and independence and integration with- in the community for people with disabili- ties,” said Keith Falconer, chairman of Picker- ing’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, dur- ing a presentation to council at a meeting on Oct. 17. “We also want to incite volunteerism opportunities within the community. This committee and the City of Pickering are com- mitted to breaking down any barriers that prevent citizens of any ability from meeting their full potential.” Among the guest speakers is local resident Mr. Lue, who was a star athlete with dreams of playing professional baseball when, at the age of 21, he was crushed by a piece of heavy equipment while working, and paralyzed from the waist down. Mr. Lue will discuss workplace safety. The event will also include displays from Autism Ontario, Brain Injury Association of Durham, Durham Transit Specialized Servic- es, Shoppers Home Health, Durham Region- al Accessibility Advisory Committee and the Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee, including new information on accessibility legislation. The Rick Hansen Relay team is scheduled to arrive at the event around 11 a.m. The team will include local medal bearer Donald McCafferty. An ambassador for both Variety Village and the Abilities Centre in Whitby, Mr. McCaffer- ty has been active in sports at the local and provincial levels for many years and works to encourage others to stay active and healthy through sport. Mr. Falconer describes him as “an inspiration to all who know him. “Donald’s ability to fly a plane shows what can be accomplished when you have a dream and work to make it come true in the face of huge obstacles,” Mr. Falconer said. All members of the public are invited to join in for the City of Pickering’s first Accessibility Awareness Day. Displays will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Pickering Town Centre’s centre court and stage presentations will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information: vIsIt cityofpickering.com City Pickering celebrates accessibility awareness MEtRolanD FilE PHoto PICKERING -- singer/songwriter Justin Hines will be part of the City of Pickering’s first Accessibility Awareness Day Nov. 5. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 19, 20115 AP ART OF TRANSITION TOURISM SUMMIT & CREATIVE AWARDS Join us for this daylong celebration of Durham Region’s creative economy, showcasing our rich culture and history, dynamic attractions, and innovative business community.

This article highlights the major problem with nuclear power -- the waste and what to do with it. In fact, its kind of a no-brainer. Waste that will take 700 million years to become half as dangerous as it is today, clearly cannot be stored anywhere else but far, far away from humans, and literally “forever”. What is often omitted from these com- munity advisory notices are the inconve- nient truths about just how dirty and dan- gerous the nuclear power cycle really is. It is surely not “green” as the proponents would like us to believe. For example, I understand that for every gram of nuclear fuel that is refined, four grams of waste are generated. During the mining, milling, refining pro- cesses, thousands of tonnes of hazardous waste, both chemical and radioactive, is generated and dumped. But then that’s all up north somewhere, not in our backyard. In fact, with some 432 active reactors worldwide, with 65 more under construc- tion, the waste problems with the needed disposal and storage become enormous. Future generations will likely face signif- icant risks from not only present day ura- nium mining and processing of waste, but also the thousands of underground storage facilities that must be created somewhere. (DGR’s in the article) Don Dorward Pickering Feedback Leash-free park fence could benefit all To the editor: Re: Resident opposed to leash-free park fence, letter to the editor, durhamregion. com, Oct. 12, 2011. The idea of a fence at the Westney leash- free park is one that will benefit everyone. As a taxpayer, the letter writer is welcome to her opinion; however, I would suggest that more thought on her part into this ini- tiative is required. While she doesn’t support the fence, it is important to note that we all live in and share a community and that it is sometimes prudent to put aside our personal agendas for the greater good; not everyone can have their way. It is, in fact, likely that this fence will actu- ally save taxpayer money for the measly $8,000 it costs to build it. One bad accident as a result of a dog running across the road will almost certainly cost more in damage (both vehicles and town property), rescue services, cleanup and health-care costs. Not to mention the potential for loss of life, dog and human. One can say send the “car chasers” up north, but at the end of the day, even the most well-trained dog is an animal and can be unpredictable. Let’s be proactive rather than reactive. Peter Wilson Ajax sports No mention of football hooliganism To the editor: Re: ‘New Canadian can’t bear violence of hockey’, letter to the editor, durhamregion. com, Oct. 3, 2011. Sorry to hear of the letter writer’s con- cerns about the sport of hockey. Perhaps if he took the time to watch and understand the game he might feel differently. It is, after all, the fastest and most exciting sport in the world. He goes on to state that he enjoys UFC but fails to mention the hooliganism that occurs in the stands at some of the football games in his former homeland of the Unit- ed Kingdom. Perhaps the letter writer should stick to a more gentle sport. Conor McAuliffe Whitby A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

The Durham chairman, addressing the Whitby Chamber of Commerce last week, noted that the one-seat differential for Dalton McGuinty’s Liberal minority government means some of the balance of power in leg- islature could be determined right here at home with four Progressive Conservatives in opposition and two Liberals in govern- ment. More exciting, however, is the chairman’s aggressive tone in positioning Durham as a region whose time has finally come. In that context, with the Liberals forming a minor- ity government, there might be more polit- ical will than ever to recognize Durham as a vibrant, growing, well-run region that deserves its due. Durham residents might recall the high- ly charged debate surrounding the provin- cial government’s arbitrary decision last year to end its promised Hwy. 407 exten- sion at Harmony Road in Oshawa instead of Hwy. 35/115 as originally agreed upon. At the time, the Liberals were sagging in pre- election polls and responded by backtrack- ing. The collective and vocal response of local politicians, everyday citizens, business leaders and local media led the Liberals to withdraw their ill-regarded decision. Now, as the Liberals prepare to govern in a minority, MPPs will have to remain sen- sitive to local issues and respond appro- priately. And the Conservatives in Durham -- veterans John O’Toole, Jerry Oullette, Christine Elliott and returnee Laurie Scott in Brock -- can provide a stronger and uni- fied voice at Queen’s Park and advocate for Durham Region’s needs. Here at home, we encourage munici- pal leaders to keep the pressure on MPPs, regardless of party stripe, and push for local needs and local projects. Municipal leaders, too, can work together on common issues or mutually beneficial initiatives and lobby provincial representatives from a position of collective strength. If the conclusion to the Hwy. 407 debate that went in Durham’s favour last year is an example of what can be done by co-ordi- nated effort and artfully applied pressure -- against a majority government -- imag- ine the gains that can be made for Durham in the coming years. We call on all MPPs in Durham to join the chairman and taxpayers to push hard on the Region’s behalf. As Mr. Anderson noted last week: “...it’s about time Durham Region had its turn.” Baseball appears to be the only business around these days that still reveres old guys. I was watching some of the Ameri- can League Championship Series this weekend and I found it oddly comfort- ing whenever the camera would provide a closeup of some grizzled, tobacco-chew- ing septuagenarian manager. I love these guys. And I love what they embody...expe- rience, wisdom, perspective. Those are invaluable assets and there are no short- cuts to them. Just time and experience. Baseball understands this. At least it seems to. Everywhere else I look, there seems to be a fire sale on seniors. Most businesses can’t get rid of them fast enough. I don’t get it. Why this ridicu- lous focus on youth? Youth is all well and good, although as I slide past my mid-cen- tury mark, I understand more clearly the old adage, ‘Youth is wasted on the young’. People have energy, drive and very often new and exciting ideas but in order to bear decent fruit these qualities need to be tempered with experience, wisdom and perspective. Those three important words again. I certainly don’t mean to disparage young persons. Nor do I intend to hold everyone over 65 as a paragon of sophistry. Let’s face it, some old people are stupid. A life spent watching television and never read- ing anything longer than a Stuckey’s menu will do that to you. Thankfully, nature has a way of culling the herd. That’s why we have power tools and snowmobiles. But, for every senior idiot, there are legions of intelligent, erudite and won- derfully sage individuals just waiting to be tapped. Or, as is most often the tragic case, retired and warehoused. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I had occasion to witness some of this senior magic first hand. We got my dad telling sto- ries about his youth. Front and centre was the tale of how he met my mom, a nurse, after crashing his motorcycle and land- ing himself in the hospital and, my favou- rite, the story of how he and a pilot friend ditched a plane in Lake Ontario. Grant- ed, it’s not exactly like sitting at the feet of Archimedes, but there’s gold in there. My boys, now 17 and 20, both remarked after- wards that they never tire of listening to their grandfather’s stories of the old days. That’s proof enough for me that our aging population holds the keys to something very precious. A resource we are squandering in our frantic veneration of youth. Most people, if they are able to keep their eyes and minds even half-open, learn a great deal as they progress through the decades. And most of it is stuff you won’t find in books or on the Internet. You can’t Google 85 years of life experience. I’ve tried. Baseball understands this. Which is why, when the score is tied at the top of the ninth, the bases are loaded, the count is three and two and the pressure is really on...the pitcher isn’t looking at the hand- some, smooth-skinned, rookie with the bling around his neck. No...believe you me, he’s looking for the guy who’s been there before and lived to tell the tale...he’s searching for the grey hair and wrinkles. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column durhamregion.com7 AP News Advertiser • October 19, 2011HOT TOPICS: BILLS’ TICKETS!!!

We spent some time inside the cage with Head Zookeeper Jen Bird and three six-month-old Striped Hyenas from Italy. I like the sim- plicity of the image, almost in silhouette yet with distinct fall- like colours and hues. The best part is the connection and trust between Jen and Bonzai and the overall feeling of calm the image gives off. Really, the best part is being inside a hyena’s cage on a warm autumn afternoon. How cool is that? MIKE JOHNSTON - MANAGING EDITOR Portable devices are changing the way we work I made an upgrade to the technological side of my life last week. Well, it depends if you are a BlackBerry fan or an iPhone per- son. I have used a BlackBerry at work for a few years. It was great for e-mail but after a while the tracking ball stopped tracking and it would not load our durhamregion. com website. In fact, it loaded very few websites. I now carry an iPhone and I don’t plan to go back. What a great piece of equipment. I have always been a Mac person and this iPhone has cemented that relationship. It loads all websites, takes great photos and has more apps than I will ever use. But getting started wasn’t easy. Our social media guru and Ajax reporter Reka Szekely started me on my journey with this iPhone. After she finished tapping the screen a few times, I had Facebook, Twitter and a way to scan QR codes. With the help of my kids, I now have Angry Birds and the NHL game centre app. Devices such as the iPhone have defi- nitely changed how we work and play. For the longest time I shunned a BlackBerry, worried about being available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Now my iPhone is never far from my sight. Every time I touch the screen I can’t help but think about every Star Trek episode I’ve seen. We really aren’t that far behind Gene Roddenberry’s vision of what technologies we will have in the future. I’m not holding my breath on a trans- porter beam or a holodeck but play any high-definition video game and you would swear you were in that environment. Portable devices such as the iPhone are a gold mine to the newspaper industry. We can take pictures faster and post them to Facebook and Twitter, we can check in with our readers and we can see what’s hot in the communities we cover. Now if I could just blow up that last pig. -- Managing editor Mike Johnston writes a column every second week about life in the newsroom. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 19, 20118 P Staff report on Pickering ban to be released in November Moya DilloN mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Pickering may be the closest market for the sale of shark fins if Toronto joins Mississauga in banning the product, making a local ban more urgent, says a Pickering councillor. On Oct. 13, Toronto’s Licensing Commit- tee voted unanimously to endorse a ban, following Mississauga, which instituted its ban on Oct. 12. Toronto will hold a final vote on the ban at an upcoming council meeting on Monday, Oct. 24. Pickering councillor David Pickles spear- headed a motion to have City staff look into the potential for a similar city-wide ban of shark fin products and says that ban is more necessary than ever given the nearby restrictions. “People will be looking for a place to go to sell these products and Pickering is very close,” Coun. Pickles said. “This is all the more reason for us to move quickly, it certainly puts some pressure on Pickering.” On Sept. 19 Pickering council voted unanimously to approve the motion asking staff to review the possibility of instituting a ban on the sale of shark fin products in the city. That report is expected to come back to council for consideration at the upcom- ing Executive Committee meeting on Mon- day, Nov. 14. The Canadian shark-preservation non- profit group Shark Truth is encouraging Toronto, and cities like it, to follow the lead of California, which instituted a state-wide ban on the sale of shark fins Oct. 10. “Like California, Toronto has the high- est number of Chinese consumers in their nation,” said Claudia Li, founder of Shark Truth. “The signing of this bill is a historic moment for sharks. Our southern neigh- bours are showing us, and Toronto, the urgent steps we need to take to protect this misunderstood, vulnerable species.” Coun. Pickles sees the string of new bans as a positive development, and says he hopes the trend will continue locally. “I think it’s great,” he said of the new Mis- sissauga ban and potential Toronto ban. “We were hoping to be on the same front line as Toronto so this is very good news, I hope it will help create support for a ban in Pickering. I think having these bans in place will protect Pickering to an even greater degree and it’s a great example of adjacent communities working well together. Hope- fully we’ll all end up in the same place.” For more information on the proposed ban in Pickering: vIsIt www.pickeringlovessharks.blogspot. com Ask Katherine Send your waste related letters, questions, or comments to waste@durham.ca Waste Management, Regional Municipality of Durham 605 Rossland Rd.

What is Waste Reduction We ek and how can I participate? October 17 –23, 2011 has been declared Waste Reduction We ek in DurhamRegion.WasteReduction We ek is a national campaign dedicated to urging all Canadians to do their part by reducing,reusing and recycling waste in all aspects of their lives. Participate in Waste Reduction We ek by learning more about the ways you can reduce yourimpactontheenvironmentthrough small changes in your management of waste. Begin reducing your waste by bringing a reusable mug to work for your hot beverages; using a reusable bottle for your cold beverages; and packing litterless lunches. Ensure your unwanted items, which are still in good condition, are reused by holding a garage sale or donating them to local charities, such as The Salvation Army, Canadian Diabetes Association, Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity. For items that cannot be reused, look for opportunities to recycle. Durham Region invites residents to drop off special recyclable waste items to any of the Region’s three waste management facilities year round. There is no charge for these loads consisting of one or more of the following types of materials, if delivered separately from other waste: • Bulky white polystyrene • Electronic waste (e-waste) • Household hazardous waste (HHW) • Plastic signs (coroplast/film) • Tires • White agricultural bale wrap For more information, please visit www.wrwcanada.com and go to the Region’s website, www.durhamregionwaste.ca, to learn more about how you can reduce,reuse, and recycle in Durham Region. 1-800-667-5671 www.durhamregionwaste.ca city Pickering watches as Toronto hears report on possible shark fin ban toroNto Star Photo PICKERING -- On the heels of a pos- sible toronto ban of shark fins, Pickering Councillor David Pickles is spearheading a motion for a similar ban in the city. New radiologists, pathologist to serve ajax campus AJAX -- Rouge Valley Health System’s Ajax and Pickering hospital is preparing to wel- come several new doctors in order to better serve its growing communities. The hospital announced it has hired two new radiologists and a new pathologist, all of whom will be working at both the Ajax and Scarborough campuses. “We are pleased to welcome our latest phy- sicians to our team,” said Dr. Naresh Mohan, chief of staff. “We look forward to the contributions that they will make to our already dynamic and outstanding group of physicians.” New to the radiology department is Dr. Steve Gazzola. Originally from Sault Ste. Marie, radiologist Dr. Gazzola worked in emergency medicine before returning to the University of Toronto to complete training in diagnostic imaging and additional training in bone radiology. “I love images and being able to put puz- zles together, based on what the patient is saying and the evidence found in those images,” Dr. Gazzola said. “I hope that my training and experience will help to enhance the great musculosk- eletal bone radiology already taking place here. We have a great team of radiologists and I’m especially excited about the addi- tion of the new MRI at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering.” Joining him in the radiology department is Dr. James Woo, who brings subspecialty experience in cardiac MRI. “I think these advanced imaging modali- ties will help in the diagnosis and subse- quent management of many cardiac and chest diseases, especially with the addition of the new magnet,” he said. Another new face serving both hospital campuses is pathologist Dr. Soran Abdulka- rim, who describes the art of pathology as similar to detective work. “By looking at the tissues and cells, you’re able to make a final diagnosis, and you can help to improve the patient’s quality of life,” said Dr. Abdulkarim, who joined the hospi- tal in July. “The final diagnosis, especially when it comes to tumours, whether benign or malig- nant, is based on the pathologist’s findings.” health care Ajax-Pickering hospital welcomes new doctors durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 19, 20119 P Direct Access 905.420.4660 General Enquiries 905.420.2222 Service Disruption 1.866.278.9993 Events@ Yo urLibrary Halloween Fa mily Fun for All Ages Saturday,October29from10:30am to 12noon Petticoat Creek Branch –470KingstonRoad Looking forsomethingfun to do?Thenlooknofurther!Comejoinus forsomecreepycrawlyHalloweenthemedfamilyactivities,storiesand crafts.Costumesareencouragedbutoptional.

That 2.7 million tonnes of waste that could have been diverted is equivalent to the weight of 6,222 Boeing 747 jets. For example, three-quarters of plastics that should be recycled end up in landfills instead. And even though organics make up about one-third of the province’s waste, only 40 per cent of Ontarians have access to a curbside green bin program. More than $320 million was spent on waste diversion in Ontario last year, through pro- grams funded by industry, municipalities and the Province. Consumers also pay through eco fees on cer- tain products. The results of these programs are poor. Not a single community surveyed for Trash Troubles, this Metroland Special Report, has hit its waste-diversion goal. Ontario towns and cities have made barely a dent in the truckloads of plastic bottles, pop cans, magazines, milk car- tons and other household garbage that still end up in dumps. A 2010 report by Ontario’s Auditor Gen- eral ranked the province sixth in Cana- da by waste-diversion rate, behind Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, British Columbia and Quebec and well behind most European countries. “There’s a good portion of the population who are very devout, who take a lot of time and sort,” Mr. Beacock said at the Brock Township site. “The rest of them do noth- ing. It’s just all wham bam in a bag and out to the curb.” The same items Mr. Bea- cock is pulling out of the Brock dump are cram- ming municipal landfills across Ontario, con- tributing to the crisis that worries AMO. Landfills are running out of space or already full. Brock Township will run out of space in two years. Landfills in at least six other municipali- ties, including Simcoe County, Northumber- land and Muskoka, will fill up within 10 years. Brock is fortunate: a new incinerator to replace all Durham Region’s landfills should be open in 2014. In the meantime, garbage is diverted from full landfills in the rest of the region to a private landfill in upstate New York. Other communities are scouring for solutions. Some are planning landfill expansions. Those with landfills already closed, including Guelph and Peel, are trucking garbage to other cities in Ontario. Even green bin waste is a problem. York is sending some of its organics to Massachusetts because its Ontario contractor cannot handle the region’s full volume. “As long as you have got this escape valve of (sending waste south), no one is going to take this issue seriously,” said Municipal Waste Asso- ciation spokesman Ben Bennett. Municipalities are trying to send less to land- fill but falling short of official targets. Waterloo Region and Northumberland County have not even set a target. The Auditor-General says waste diversion rates are lagging because: • Municipalities with enough landfill space are unlikely to reduce curbside pickups and impose garbage bag limits; • Municipalities have to compete with each other and the private sector to sell their recycla- ble and compostable materials; • Municipalities say the nearly $80 million pro- vided by industry for its share of the $160-mil- lion-a-year blue box program is not enough; • They also say it is 40 per cent cheaper to land- fill materials that could be recycled. Even the types of materials collected in resi- dential blue bin programs differ by municipal- ity. While one may accept aluminum foil, trays and take-out containers, another may only take one of these materials or refuse it all. “You go to cottage country and it’s different,” said Trevor Barton, Peel Region’s waste man- agement planning supervisor. “You go to your neighbouring municipality and it’s different. It’s very frustrating for residents.” Each municipality has to be able to find a market or a solution for the recyclable materials it collects, said Lucy Robinson of the Recycling Council of Ontario. For example, much of the plastic packag- ing that ends up in landfills is not included in municipal blue box programs because there’s no market for it, she said. Ontario households trashed 176,500 tonnes of plastics, 116,000 tonnes of printed paper and 122,000 tonnes of paper packaging in 2009, according to a report by Stewardship Ontario, the industry funded organization for the blue box program. The Auditor-General says the result is that one in five municipalities report they don’t have enough space to dump their residential gar- bage. With landfills tough to build, there is a push to keep waste out, spawning provincewide stew- ardship programs. Experts also say government needs to push producers to design more recy- clable and reusable products, also known as extended producer responsibility. AMO recently ran ads saying consumers and producers of waste should be funding recycling programs so property taxpayers are not left foot- ing the bill. “A senior on a fixed income who doesn’t drive, own an iPad or a big flat screen TV shouldn’t have to pay for the high disposal costs of other people’s tires, smart phones and computers through her property taxes,” said Mr. McNa- mara. Along with industry involvement, waste man- agement officials and experts say residents need to watch what they are throwing out. “They would just rather throw it in a bag and get rid of it and throw it in a landfill,” said Peterborough’s waste management co-ordina- tor Craig Simmons. “They just think there’s an unlimited area where that material can go.” Read part 2 of Trash Troubles tomorrow WATCH the video story @ durhamregion.com Finding a home for Durham’s recycled goods SPECIAL REPORT Landfills piled high with plastic LANDFILLS from page 1 To view video of this story from your mobile device scan this QR code DURHAM -- A front-load tractor plows through a pile of plastic bottles, tubs and aluminum cans, sending a wave of colourful recyclables flying forward on the tipping floor of the Durham Material Recovery Facility. This is where all of Durham’s resi- dential blue box materials -- more than 50,000 tonnes in all -- comes to be separated, sorted and bundled. The 68,000-square-foot plant on Garrard Street in Whitby opened in 2008 and can handle 115,000 tonnes of material per year. Materials collected from curbsides across the region are trucked to this facility and dumped onto the tipping floor, where they are fed onto con- veyer belts leading into the facil- ity. Durham uses a two-stream system for recyclables, meaning paper and cardboard are sepa- rated into one blue box and con- tainers into another. About 70 per cent of the material is paper and cardboard, while containers make up the remaining 25 to 30 per cent. Workers perform quality control by pulling off items that can’t be recycled, while optical sorters using light spectrometry technology identify different types of plastics. Aluminum cans are separated by a magnet. The use of optical devices, which is a rare feature and makes the Durham facility unique in Canada, cuts down on operating costs and results in a cleaner recycled product, noted Craig Bartlett, Durham’s head of waste man- agement. At the end of the process the sepa- rated materials end up in large, cubed bundles of recycled goods that are put on the open market for bids. The Region earns about $5 million a year from its recyclables, money it uses to offset waste management costs. While many regions and munici- palities happily ship their recycled goods to emerging markets in Asia and South America, Mr. Bartlett said Durham sells its product mostly to the North American markets. Other than sending some gable top and tetra pack materials to South Korea, the material is sold within the continent to companies such as Gerdau Amer- isteel in Whitby, Plasco in Quebec and Anhauser-Busch in the United States. “Our focus is on North America,” he said. “We want to know that our mate- rials will be recycled." He added there is no point in send- ing a product overseas to be landfilled or burned.

The Ajax residents have both earned medals during the initial days of the com- petition, with Landry collecting a pair in rhythmic gymnastics, while Beckberger earned hers in the pool. Beckberger and the 4x100m freestyle relay swim team got Canada off to a prom- ising start on Saturday with a bronze med- al-winning performance. “Oh my goodness,” said Beckberger on Tuesday morning from Mexico as she struggled to describe the feeling of win- ning a medal. “It was a little scary at first. We were up there screaming as loud as we could for Paige (Schultz) to get into that wall (on the last leg of the race). I was lean- ing right over and when we watched her touch and I saw her just out-touch the Ven- ezuelan girl right beside us, it was so amaz- ing. “We all just screamed and threw our arms up. It was a surreal moment. It was awe- some. We knew we had the bronze medal and it just felt so great.” Beckberger swam the lead leg of the race, and combined with Schultz (Toronto), Car- oline Lapierre (Rouyn-Noranda, Que.) and Ashley McGregor (Pointe-Claire, Que.) to reach the podium. She also swam the 200m freestyle on Sunday, reaching the final and finishing eighth. The 25-year-old member of the Whitby Dolphins swam the 200m freestyle relay on Tuesday, was scheduled for the 100m freestyle Wednesday, and wraps up the competition on Friday with the 50m free and 400m medley relay. Landry was just as excited about her accomplishments early in the games as part of the Canadian rhythmic gymnastics team. On Sunday the team won silver in the group all-around, following it up with a bronze in the group ball event on Monday. Her competition wrapped up Tuesday with the group hoop and ribbon competition. “It feels pretty good,” she said on Tues- day from Mexico of walking around the athlete’s village with a couple of medals draped around her neck. “All the Canadian athletes are really supportive. Every time we walk by they clap for us. It feels pretty awesome.” The 17 year old added that the venue has been sold out for all of her events, and that the crowds, “really like the Canadians. We are pretty popular.” This competition will be used as a springboard for the Canadian team for the 2012 Olympics in London, England. Hav- ing already qualified, it starts to make the Olympics a little more of a reality. “It definitely does,” said Landry, who hopes to be named to the team. “We had to be first in our continent at world cham- pionships and we did that in September, so we’re closer to the Olympics.” Durham Region has a strong contin- gent of 11 athletes at the Pan American Games. Included in the mix in addition to Beckberger and Landry are Taija Camp- bell (women’s basketball), Ainsley Swit- zer (fencing), Keegan Pereira (men’s field hockey) and Candace Chapman (women’s soccer) from Ajax, Warren Barnes (aquat- ics) and John Moonlight (rugby 7s) from Pickering, while Whitby has Kristina Vac- ulik (artistic gymnastics), Kelita Zupancic (judo) and Kailah Macri (artistic roller- sports). The Games run until Oct. 30. Canada’s athlete delegation consists of 257 men and 236 women competitors, with Ontario being the largest contributor to the team with 163 competitors. Cana- dian athletes will compete in 38 of the 39 sports contested. At the 2007 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Can- ada finished fourth in the overall medal ranking earning 39 gold, 43 silver and 55 bronze medals for a total of 138. The Unit- ed States led the way with 237. Guadalajara offers the opportunity for direct qualification into the 2012 Olympic Games in London for 11 sports, includ- ing, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo, triathlon, equestrian dressage, field hockey, handball, modern pentath- lon, table tennis, tennis and canoe/kayak sprint. Approximately 6,000 athletes from 42 countries will be participating in 39 sports at this year’s Games. Canada will host the Americas at the next Pan American Games, which will be held in Toronto from July 10-26, 2015.

News Advertiser T H E 24/7 LocaL breaking news, sports, photos, video and weather >>Allow 24 goals in three losses BrAd Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- The Pickering Panthers had a weekend they would just as soon forget. The Ontario Junior Hockey League team allowed 24 goals in three games and, not surprisingly, ended up on the losing end of all three, falling 9-3 to St. Michael’s, 7-1 to Wellington and 8-5 against Vaughan. It dropped their record to 2-11-0 on the season, with just one win in their past 10 games. Granted, Wellington and St. Michael’s are regarded as a cou- ple of the premiere teams in the league, but head coach Mike Galati said that’s no excuse for the lopsided scores. “Especially Monday (against Vaughan),” he noted. “We scored five goals and normally that should be enough. You play Wel- lington and St. Mike’s and they’re the cream of the crop. “The teams like Vaughan, Upper Canada (now Toronto Lakeshore), North York are teams we should be competing against. Those are games we have to win.” On home ice at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday, Andrew Goldberg, Kris Barclay and Evan Bruno had the goals, all in the third period of a 9-3 loss to St. Michael’s. The Panthers were down 2-0 through one and 5-0 through two. At the league’s showcase event in Cobourg on Saturday, Welling- ton was up 6-0 late in the second before Bruno got the Panthers on the board in an eventual 7-1 set- back. Monday in Vaughan the Pan- thers gave up four power-play goals on seven chances in the 8-5 loss to the Vipers. Matteo Bal- dassarra, Mike Sicillia, Brandon Parks and Bruno had the goals for the Panthers. In total over the three games, the Panthers gave up eight pow- er-play goals on 15 chances, while managing to convert on just one of their 13 chances. The statistics of goaltenders Adam Stein and Denny Dub- blestyne took a major hit over the weekend. Stein, who is in his fifth year in the league and will graduate due to age at the end of the season, sports a 6.42 goals against average and an .840 save percentage in 11 games. Denny Dubblestyne has a 6.86 average and .829 save percentage in five games. This weekend the Panthers will OntAriO JuniOr HOcKey leAgue Weekend to forget for Pickering Panthers ryAn Pfeiffer / MetrOlAnd PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers Matteo Baldassarra, left, battled with St. Michael’s Buzzers Michael Neville during their Ontario Junior Hockey League Jr. A game at the Pickering Recreation Complex on Friday. host Toronto Lakeshore on Friday at 7:30 p.m., then head to North York for an afternoon game Sun- day. “We have five or six games com- ing up that are huge for us,” said Galati. “We’re a couple of points out of a playoff spot, six points out of third place, that’s how tight our division is. As bad as our record is, believe it or not, we’re not out of it in our division.” Galati went on to credit the players for battling hard in the games despite not getting the desired result. rugBy dunbarton hosts pair of friendlies PICKERING -- Members of the Dun- barton senior and junior rugby teams will host a couple of friendlies against a touring team from England on Sunday. Game times against the King Edward VI Aston teams, from Birming- ham, England, are planned for 1 and 2:15 p.m. The games will be played rain or shine, with free admission for all spectators. The exhibition promises to be a challenge for Dunbarton, who are play- ing out of season. Rugby is a spring sport for LOSSA teams.

Log on to: www.durhamregion.com durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • October 19, 201123 AP Return of Pickering’s Andy Andreoff sparks big weekend BRiAn McnAiR bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- It looks like the Oshawa Gen- erals have turned a corner. After a slow start by the standards expect- ed of most, the Generals came away from a busy weekend with five points against the three tops teams in the Ontario Hockey League’s Eastern Conference standings. The final stroke was the sweetest, coming Sunday before 3,579 at the General Motors Centre, as the Generals defeated their fierc- est rivals, the Peterborough Petes, 3-1 in an entertaining game they fully deserved to win. With it, the Generals improved to 5-4-0- 2 and moved two points back of the East Division leading Petes (6-2-1-1). The Otta- wa 67’s (6-2-1-0), who downed the Gener- als 5-4 in a shootout the night before, sit in between. It’s likely no coincidence the team’s best stretch of games so far came immediately upon the return of Andy Andreoff from the Los Angeles Kings. The 20-year-old Pickering native had three points in the three games, but brings much more to the table than just that, said Chris DePiero, the Generals coach and general manager. “Andy brings a lot to the table, notwith- standing what he does on the ice, but his leadership off the ice, in the dressing room, his presence both on the ice and off the ice,” DePiero said after Sunday’s win. “He’s just a tremendous kid, a tremendous lead- er. It’s hard to describe what he means to this team and getting him back is a bless- ing.” Andreoff gives the team five high-end forwards, along with captain Boone Jenner, Christian Thomas, Lucas Lessio and Nick- las Jensen, all of whom have been drafted in the third round or better by NHL clubs. Led by five points each from Jenner and Lessio, the five players combined for 20 points among the nine regulation goals scored by the team in the three games. Andreoff, who signed a three-year entry level contract with the Kings, said he’s happy to be back in Oshawa, even if it delays his professional career by a year. He had been considered for the Manchester Monarchs, the Kings’ American Hockey League affiliate. “Manchester has a pretty good team, so I guess they wanted me to develop a lit- tle bit more by getting a lot of ice with the Generals, and they know we have a good team here, so I guess they just wanted me to help win a championship, become a bet- ter player and get ready for next year,” said Andreoff. “I’m happy to be back for sure. I love play- ing here, great teammates, really skilled. We’ve got a great season ahead of us, so we’re sure we can win a Memorial Cup.” The Generals are in Peterborough Thurs- day and have another Saturday-Sunday home doubleheader, against Sudbury and Saginaw respectively, this weekend.
