Mr. Campkin was among the more fortunate 50 per cent. Eight years ago, at the age of 46, the Whitby man looked and felt fairly fit. He was not a smoker, wasn’t overweight, and his blood- work checked out fine -- he didn’t have high cholesterol, diabetes or any other condition that can plague the middle-aged. He was a self-described “weekend warrior”, enjoying tennis regularly. WED.

On May 23 at about 4:30 p.m. a warrant was executed at a town- house at 925 Bayly St. in Pickering. Police found chemicals used in the production of methamphet- amine, including some that are flammable or extremely dangerous if inhaled. Two suspects were arrested and held for a bail hearing. Durham police, RCMP, EMS, fire services and Health Canada were all involved in the raid. “It was a suspected, clandes- tine lab,” said Staff Sergeant Vince D’Amico on Friday. “Given the very dangerous chemicals and items involved, proper protocol is being followed to stabilize the location.” Friday night, firefighters removed dangerous materials from the resi- dence. “These are very toxic chemi- cals,” said Sgt. D’Amico. “This could be quite a long process.” Police are uncertain if the meth lab is gang-related. The quantity of drugs and chemicals found will not be confirmed until the investigation is complete. Police said the potential for explo- sion during the production of meth- amphetamine is very high. Eric Charbonneau, 34, and Court- ney Doerle, 19, both of Bayly Street in Pickering are charged with pro- ducing crystal methamphetamine and possession for use in produc- tion of a substance. -- With files from Torstar news services Focus group report cites ‘very low levels of awareness’ Brad Andrews and Jillian Follert newsroom@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Michelle Ward covers her face and cringes. “Oh my God, is it really bad that I have no idea?” she asks. The Pickering woman has just been asked if she knows what to do in the event of a nuclear emer- gency. Her home in the Brock Road and Bayly Street area is not far from the Pickering nuclear gener- ating station. Earlier this month, Ontario Power Generation and its local partners mailed out a booklet to 200,000 homes and business- es within a 10-kilometre radius of the Pickering and Darlington nuclear facilities, outlining what to do in case of emergency. The pamphlet, which cost $3 apiece, was created at the urging of the Canadian Nuclear Safe- ty Commission after hearing a number of concerns about a lack of public knowledge regarding the Pickering plant. Pickering residents not sure what to do in nuclear emergency See DURHAM page 2 BOWMANVILLE -- Ministry of Health’s Emergency Medical Assistance Team (EMAT) participants were running through drills in a tent outside of the Bowmanville hospital as part of the three-day emergency exercise centred on the Darlington nuclear plant.

We might have thought it was junk mail,” Ms. Ward says. The local woman says her family -- which includes husband Mike and sons ages four and 19 months -- has “a few” emergency items on hand, such as a first-aid kit and battery-powered radio. But they’re not well-versed on where to go or what to do if they heard nuclear sirens. “I think we would probably go to my parents’ house (in Toronto). We would want to get the kids out of here,” Ms. Ward says. Metroland Media Group’s Durham Region Division recently knocked on doors near OPG’s Pickering and Darling- ton facilities, to find out if local residents are getting the message when it comes to nuclear safety. Most had no idea what to do in an emergency. “I think I’d be panicking,” says Pickering resident Nimesha Singhe, who also lives near Brock and Bayly. “If my kids were at school ... I would want to get them. I would want to get as far away from (the nuclear facility) as we could.” The story was much the same in Clar- ington. Egan Fitzpatrick wasn’t sure if his household received the booklet -- and wasn’t sure about emergency proce- dures. “Never given it any consideration what I might do, except from like a common sense perspective,” he says. “Probably go the other way.” Clarington resident Carole MacDonald received two of the booklets in the mail and gave one to her daughter. “I thought it was good to have around and good information,” she says, add- ing she isn’t prepared for an emergen- cy other than keeping a cupboard full of canned goods. “I mean, I know to stay put until I’m told what to do,” she notes. Cathie Humber received the booklet and read it, but is still uncertain about how she would react to sirens blaring. “I’d need to read it again,” she says. The same results are reflected in a recent focus group report commissioned by Ontario Power Generation. The report, obtained by a freedom of information request by Greenpeace, concludes people who live closest to the Pickering and Darlington nuclear plants have “very low levels of awareness” about what to do if there’s an emergency. “It’s shocking because the OPG has always said it has all of this outreach in communities,” says Shawn-Patrick Sten- sil of Greenpeace Canada, a non-prof- it environmental group that opposes nuclear power. “But when they did the focus groups, they found no knowledge.” OPG spokesman Neal Kelly said people are busy “and they probably don’t think of a highly unlikely event happening, so it’s important to communicate with them on a regular basis just to let them know that emergency plans are in place and they will be safely taken care of.” Greenpeace is pressuring the govern- ment to hold public consultations to update emergency responses, and to include detailed plans for a major acci- dent. This week, OPG and various levels of government are holding a three-day mock nuclear emergency along with about 540 agencies -- a huge exercise that hasn’t been done on this scale since 1999. -- With files from Torstar news services Fast facts Nuclear emergency safety tips • The siren is a warning and does not mean you need to evacuate. If you hear it, stay calm, go indoors and turn on your radio or TV. Listen to media reports and follow any instructions provided by the Province. • Don’t evacuate unless you’re told to. Depending on winds and weather conditions it may be safer to stay in your home with the windows closed and ventilation to the out- side turned off. • If evacuation is necessary, residents can go to a location of their choosing or to an evacu- ation centre equipped with radiation monitor- ing and decontamination equipment. • Do not pick up children from school or elderly relatives from a nursing home. These institutions have their own emergency and evacuation procedures. If schools are evacu- ated, local radio and television stations will announce when and where parents can pick up their children. • Stock an emergency kit with at least four litres of water per person, per day, for three days. Also include a three-day supply of food for each person and any pets. Choose com- pact, lightweight and non-perishable food that doesn’t need to be refrigerated, cooked or have water added. • Pack an easy to carry bag with a first aid kit, manual can opener, medications, infant formula, extra keys for the house and car, cash in small bills, potassium iodide pills and a battery-powered or hand-crank radio.

Durham police said a 21-year-old man sustained a stab wound to the abdomen and a cut above his eye after a group of people leaving a Liverpool Road restaurant became involved in a fight at about 2:30 a.m. He was treated at hospital for serious but not life- threatening injuries. A suspect fled the scene but was arrested a short distance away. Officers recovered a knife, police said. Tiffany Webb, 20, of Gracestone Walk in Toronto, is charged with aggravated assault, assault and weapons offences.

Ajax man killed in multi-vehicle Hwy. 401 crash DURHAM -- An Ajax man has been iden- tified as the person killed when a dump truck went out of control and crashed into several other vehicles on Hwy. 401 in Toronto. Ontario Provincial Police continue to investigate the nine-vehicle crash, which occurred at about 4:30 p.m. May 20 in the eastbound express lanes near Yonge Street. Police said a dump truck hauling soil went out of control and struck several other vehicles before rolling and dumping its load onto the roadway. Killed in the crash was Vladimir A. Bucalov, 42, of Ajax, OPP said. Three other drivers were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Witnesses to the collision are asked to contact Constable Victor Gomes at 416- 235-4981.

While the contents of the kit are infor- mative -- “Everything you need to know about a nuclear emergency” -- the packag- ing is not recyclable (due to the wire hold- ing together the very expensive cardboard- like pages) and the useless, tiny LED light is battery-operated, but will most likely end up in the garbage, because many won’t know that there is a battery inside the kit. What a waste of our municipal and pro- vincial dollars. It would make more sense to invest in solutions to dealing with nuclear waste, or to redirect funds from this costly packaging to feeding families in need. There must be a better way to get the message of nuclear safety across to our citi- zens.Maret Sadem-Thompson You can’t put a value on nature’s bounty As a high school student, nature lover and environmentally aware citizen, I was concerned to read a recent letter regard- ing the proposed Pickering airport. My largest concern is the lack of logic in the argument outlining the necessity of this airport. The letter stated that “much of the farming activity in Ontario depends heavily on hundreds of millions of lottery dollars.” On the contrary, farmers in Ontario receive absolutely zero funding from OLG. Rather than relying on taxpayers, Ontario’s agricultural industry contributes over $33 billion annually to the province’s GDP and sustains more than 700,000 jobs. If we con- tinue to destroy the farmland we have left, food prices will unquestionably rise. It isn’t difficult to see the correlation between the cost of energy and imported foods. Where is the logic in transporting produce thousands of kilometres when we can yield the same crops locally? If airport supporters are concerned about the mon- etary they are overlooking the value of agri- culture on this Class 1 farmland. While the airport project may bring some economic benefits, it’s important to recog- nize that healthy ecosystems provide us with services valued in the millions of dol- lars, such as water and air filtration, erosion mitigation and storm water management. Moreover, the beauty of nature can’t be assigned a monetary equivalent. The writer said he spent his childhood on a farm and described the experience as wonderful. But his comments come across as being unaware of the importance of pre- serving agricultural land for my generation to also discover and enjoy. It is disheartening to witness decisions being made that will adversely influence my generation without our input or consent. Those in power should be looking towards a sustainable future for Durham Region. -- Jayden Rae is a Grade 11 student at All Saints C.S.S in Whitby with a passion for environmental education and leadership. Jayden Rae Guest Column Environment Spreading the message on nuclear safety If a sampling of residents is any indication, there would be chaos in Durham Region in the unlikely chance of a serious nuclear incident in Pickering or Darlington. The news comes amidst a multi-agency mock nuclear emergency exercise taking place over three days this week in Durham. It also comes just a few weeks after a new nuclear emergency kit -- featuring easy-to- read binder pages and a pinpoint LED flash- light -- was distributed to more than 200,000 houses (at a cost of $3 each) within a 10-kilo- metre radius of Durham’s nuclear plants. But the results of an Ontario Power Gen- eration focus group obtained by Greenpeace Canada clearly indicate that despite efforts at outreach and community engagement by Durham’s nuclear operator, a frighten- ing number of the region’s residents remain completely unaware of what they should do in a worst-case nuclear scenario. The report concludes there are “very low levels of awareness” among residents living closest to Durham’s two nuclear generating stations. One resident indicated she would try to get to Toronto in a nuclear accident; a mother in Pickering said she would want to retrieve her children from school. Each of those, depending on the circumstance, might be precisely the wrong thing to do, based on protocols laid out in established monitoring and evacuation directives. This study shows rather clearly that even though OPG has lived up to its obligations to regularly provide information related to nuclear incidents, it hasn’t had much suc- cess in ensuring that the information it pro- vides is being retained, let alone perused by residents. It is on this basis that OPG must move to develop a mechanism to more effectively measure and manage the success and retention of such important information for residents. Residents, too, have a respon- sibility to become informed, for their own and their family’s sakes. Nuclear power is here to stay in Ontar- io and OPG has a solid record of safely and professionally operating its reactors in Dur- ham Region. But there are well known and serious risks associated with accidents. The lesson here is that it’s not enough to assemble, package and distribute important information without accompanying over- sight and followup with the recipients. OPG, as the entity responsible, is obliged to ensure that the information it provides is mean- ingful to residents, that they are aware and informed, and that they know their role in an emergency. The emotionally exhausting adventures of Spade Boy I found myself having to turn over a gar- den this past weekend, a chore that was dis- agreeable to me for a couple of reasons. First and foremost because it involved a great deal of physical labour, something I seem to have developed a mid-life aller- gy to, and secondly because it entailed the wholesale slaughter of a large number of very lovely, completely healthy, inno- cent plants -- happy, carefree flora that were guilty of nothing more than making the world prettier and feeding the bees. Honestly, as I waded out into those breez- ily waving, unsuspecting stalks, murderous spade in hand, I felt like Joseph Mengele, Gary Bettman and the captain of the Exxon Valdez all rolled into one. And naturally, I couldn’t just make a clean, swift, painless job of it. No, I had to make a difficult task harder by dragging my emotions into it. I thought, perhaps, I could ameliorate my guilt by ‘saving’ a few plants. I created a new, smaller garden into which I would transplant a select number of lucky candidates. But all this did was increase my discomfort. Now, I was not only execution- er but judge and jury as well. And of course by now the plants knew full well what was really going on. Clearly this wasn’t going to be just a little harmless weeding. It broke my heart to watch even the dowdiest, most woody-stemmed of them suddenly putting on its most adorable ‘Don’t kill me’ face. Some of them, the really desperate ones, even managed to tempt bees onto their flowers as if to scream out, “Look. See? I’m not just beautiful ... I’m saving the planet.” Cripes. Everywhere I turned, I was greeted by some precious scenario designed to shame me further. Here were two tulips, passionately entwined together, petals open, stamens bravely proclaiming, “Kill us if you must, but we’d like to go together please.” Here was a large, motherly hosta, her leaves pro- tectively wrapped around a tiny, budding daffodil ... “Not the children. You monster.” But the final garden stake through my heart was the thorny old rose bush which, after seasons of watching over this garden, managed to raise his beautiful old head up as if to say, “Take me, friend. I’m ready to go.” The only ones who seemed complete- ly indifferent were the weeds. Used to being uprooted and displaced, they only sneered defiantly. “Do your worst, spade boy,” they seemed to hiss. “We’ll be back and you know it.” In the end, I did manage to successfully transplant a small number of flowers and plants, and these I have taken great pains to nurture and tend to. But it’s cold comfort in the wake of the carnage I was exacting. Kathryn, my partner, is used to me making noises when I am working at some physical chore. I am a grunter, apparently. But this time, as I worked away at my bloody task, she called out to me from across the yard, “Who are you talking to?” It was only then that I realized I had been talking. Almost non-stop. With every plunge of the spade’s sharp blade, with every uprooting heave of the shovel, with every armload dumped onto the lifeless compost heap, I’d been apologizing. Mea culpa, my flowery friends. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma y 2 8 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP 10 Summer movies of all time Enter Laughing Neil Crone Actor, comic, writer Let’s Talk Weigh in with readers on topics of the day www.facebook.com/ newsdurham Poll A court ruling that allows publication of postal code data to track registered sex offenders living in local neighbourhoods.

Source: www.rottentomatoes.com Beuttons Drums: I am a Police officer, and a part of my duties is to regis- ter convicted “sex offenders” on the Ontario Sex Offender Registry ... The importance of having an offender register yearly or if there is any changes of address, job, vehicle is paramount. We do residence checks to con- firm information ect. The last thing we need is non compliance of offenders. If a child goes missing for example, we look at convicted child offend- ers within a very short period of time including searching their residence ect. If we scare them into hiding, then we are not able to do that. Jenn Tobin: Most sex offenders will prey on someone they know, not a complete stranger. Your child is more likely to be preyed upon by someone you know (90% of crimes against children are committed by someone known to the child). Maureen Carl: There needs to be more emphasis placed on the nature of the sex offender registry. Not all sex offenders are a risk to children, and I know that pedophile is the very first thing that pops into my head when I see 18 sex offenders in my postal code. The drunk at the bar that inap- propriately groped a waitress is just as likely to be on this list as someone that poses a greater risk to women and children on a continual basis. Ashley Anderson: I have 53 in my postal code. thats a pretty big num- ber for just my area. Its good to be informed, and although all of them of course are not going to be dangerous, there still could be that few and I would rather be aware and cautious while im alone and out rather then clueless.

League1 Ontario is a semi-professional league with an emphasis on standards- based technical development, profes- sionalism and integrity. With teams coming from as far as Wind- sor in the west and Kingston in the east, League1 offers an OSA-recognized, high- performance pathway for young men in 2014, with the ambition of expanding to include women in 2015. League1 Ontar- io’s mission is simple: “to be recognized as the best soccer league in Canada below the D2 level.” Durham United FC was born out of a desire for inclusivity in Durham Region, combined with a passionate belief that the community clubs of Durham are well placed to provide the development of local athletes and coaches; to inspire at the grassroots level and beyond, and ulti- mately, to promote the beautiful game within the province, city and communi- ty. The team will field a completely ama- teur lineup, and encourage local players playing abroad to showcase their talents at home this summer. The season schedule opens for Durham United in June and runs through to late September. DUFC will play the bulk of its home games at the Pickering’s Kinsmen Field, where a newly refurbished grass field satisfies the requirements of the League1 Ontario standards. Durham United FC kicks off the season against Sigma FC on June 1 at 11 a.m. at the Vaughan Soccer Centre. The home opener is taking place on June 8 at 12:30 p.m. at Kinsmen Park against Internacio- nal De Toronto. Admission tickets will be sold at the game for $5. Children under the age of 12 wearing a Durham Region club member jersey get in for free. The club will be holding an official launch party on Wednesday, May 28 at Don Beer Arena beginning at 7 p.m. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ma y 2 8 , 2 0 1 4 19 AP The Basics • The study is evaluating whether an investigational medication can provide prolonged relief of ADHD symptoms. • About 360 adolescents and 360 adults from across Canada and the United States will be participating in this study. • Clinical studies provide insight and increased awareness to the medical community.

East, Whitby Ontario L1N 6A3 Telephone 905-668-7711 or 1-800-372-1102 www.durham.ca The Study The Regional Municipality of Durham is currently undertaking a study for the provision of Regional services, including water, wastewater, transportation, transit and service facility infrastructure, to service the lands identified as the Central Pickering Development Plan (CPDP) Area.The CPDP was completed by the Province in May 2006 and requires the Region to proceed with planning the infrastructure works required for the area. In order to meet this requirement, a study is underway to meet the environmental assessment (EA) requirements, by developing a servicing plan based on environmental considerations, as well as technical and financial efficiencies. The Study consists of three projects: 1.Water and Wastewater Infrastructure (e.g. watermains, sewers, pumping stations, reservoirs); 2.Transportation (e.g. roads, bridges, cycling paths/lanes and sidewalks in Regional road rights-of-way) and Transit Infrastructure; and 3. Service facilities (e.g. works yard). The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)document (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011).The Environmental Assessment for the Study will be fulfilling the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The three projects that form part of the Study must meet different Schedules under the Class EA process, as follows: 1. & 3. Schedule B – Water and wastewater infrastructure and service facilities 2. Schedule C – Transportation infrastructure Study Status The Class Environmental Assessment for Regional Services for the Central Pickering Development Plan is currently approaching completion. The anticipated Environmental Study Report (ESR) filing date is the end of June 2014.The study to date: • Refined the water, wastewater, and transportation system servicing alternatives based on input from the ongoing consultation activities and further studies. • Confirmed the preferred water, wastewater and transportation system servicing alternatives. • Completed the preferred water and wastewater, transportation and transit infrastructure preliminary designs and the draft ESR. Proposed Modifications to the Study Since Public Information Centre (PIC) No. 2 in June 2012, additional work has been done on the Study. Based on this work the following modifications are now being proposed: • The preferred Zone 4 Water Reservoir Site has been moved to the west side of Sideline 26 - Siting for the Zone 4 Reservoir was based on lands that could be purchased from Transport Canada. Since the initial evaluation was completed, Transport Canada has indicated a preference for the Region to locate on a large site that could potentially accommodate all 3 water components (Zone 5 Elevated Tank and Pumping Station and the Zone 4 Reservoir). • The Zone 5 Elevated Tank was initially proposed on lands south of Highway 7 and just west of Sideline 24. Discussions with Transport Canada determined that the Zone 5 Elevated Tank could potentially be located on the north side of Highway 7 at the site on the west side of Sideline 26 with the Zone 4 Reservoir. If it is later determined that this site is unsuitable due to potential conflicts with a future airport, the Zone 5 Elevated Tank can be located at a site south of Highway 7 adjacent to Sideline 26. • Whites Road from Finch Avenue to Taunton Road has been improved to better facilitate continuous and effective High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane operations by increasing from 4 to 6 lanes. • One of the amendments to the Municipal Class EA passed in October 2011 altered the Class EA Schedule from a C to a B for service facilities. Based on this it was decided that the Region’s service facilities project would also change from being Schedule C to Schedule B. Additional project specific information on the proposed modifications can be viewed on the Durham Region website, www.durham.ca/cdeap, or the City of Pickering’s Seaton Community website, www.pickering.ca/en/cityhall/services.asp. If you prefer a hardcopy of this information please contact one of the project contacts noted below to request this. We are interested in hearing any comments or concerns you may have related to the proposed modifications to this Class EA Study. Comments received before June 6, 2014 will be included as part of the ESR document. Comments will be maintained for reference throughout the project and will become part of the public record. Under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, unless otherwise stated in the submission, any personal information such as name, address, telephone number and property location included in a submission will become part of the public record files for this matter and will be released, if requested, to any person.
