Region withholds acceptance certificate due to too much ash produced DURHAM -- Though it passed on the envi- ronmental side, the Clarington incinerator project remains incomplete after the facility failed the Region’s latest acceptance test. Region of Durham and York officials advised Covanta, the company that built the energy-from-waste facility in Courtice, on Dec. 23 that the facility had not met all the criteria of the acceptance test. According to a statement from the Region of Durham, the facility must perform to an acceptable standard in a number of catego- ries including meeting environmental regu- lations as well as contractual requirements. It was in the latter category that it failed after it was determined the facility produced too much ash. “We’ve said all along, we will not accept the new Durham York Energy Centre until it is the state-of-the-art, energy-from-waste facil- ity that we set out to build,” Durham Region chairman Roger Anderson in a statement. “The facility is not there yet, although they passed all emissions tests, the amount of ash is up about 2.5 per cent more than it should be. The ash quantity issue will not impact operations, but we want this done in strict compliance with our contract.” According to the Region, the environmen- tal testing results have been reported to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Cli- mate Change and the ministry has deemed the facility is capable of operating in compli- ance with Ontario regulations. The facility is now more than a year behind schedule as it was scheduled to be compete in December 2014. Regional council will address how to proceed in early 2016. Durham incinerator passes emissions test but still not deemed complete Metroland file photo DURHAM -- The Durham York Energy Centre in Courtice has still not met all the criteria of the acceptance test, said Region of Durham and York officials. The amount of ash it produces is about 2.5 per cent more than it should, Durham Regional chairman Roger Anderson said in a statement. 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 • Ja n u a r y 6 , 2 0 1 6 3 AP First DurhamWe’ll be there Who’s InsuringWhat Matters To You? 1920 Bayly St., Pickering 905-427-5888 800-387-4189 www.firstdurham.com ***cleaver As low as Commission1% * NEW CHOICEREALTYLTDBROkERAgEIndependently Owned and Operated www.MincomRealty.ca 905-428-4557FREE Home Market Evaluation *Limited Time Offer *Terms & Conditions Apply True STory.... 12yearsagowhenIwassingleIboughtahouseinAjaxthrough JudyatMinComNewChoiceRealty.Ilivedthereforayear,met awonderfullady,gotmarriedanddecidedtorentthehouse.

NEETYouth Incubator –WorkingTo Reduce Poverty FREE 2016 CALENDAR iNsiDE In The Zone blitz enforcing traffic safety around Durham schools DURHAM -- Durham police have kicked off the new year with another road safety blitz in school zones. Cops are promising a zero-tolerance approach to infractions including speed- ing and distracted driving during the In the Zone campaign. From Jan. 4 to 8, offi- cers will be in school zones throughout the region enforcing rules of the road. Last year’s campaign saw officers issue more than 1,500 tickets during the week, the majority of them for speeding in school zones. Mayor’s pay packet up $1,351 to more than $86K; councillors’ pay rises $246 to more than $36K AJAX -- Town politicians are getting a pay raise this year. The mayor will receive an increase of $1,351, bringing his salary up to $86,855, while each of the six councillors will be get- ting a $246 increase, bringing their salaries up to $36,007. The increase for the mayor and council- lors brings their salaries up to the average pay for their respective colleagues in the five lakeshore communities in Durham Region. Each year, the Town surveys the salary of the councils in Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. In addition to the salary increase, the trav- el allowance is going up. The mayor’s allow- ance will rise by $84 to $13,675, while coun- cillors will increase by $31 to $7,715. Council approved the increases just before Christmas. One other change approved is to increase the maximum severance a politician can receive after leaving office. It’s rising to 18 months severance from the current 12 months.

Register Online YOU COULD WIN ABLUE SAPPHIRE ANDDIAMOND PENDANT VALUED AT $5,500.00 FROM FireSite features a database of geographic fea- tures and potential hazards in commercial buildings, which has been collected through a survey process. Information may include where the gas supply, the hydro valve and the sprinkler systems are located, for exam- ple. This data is integrated with the latest mapping technologies, providing firefighters with critical information such as building site maps with high-contrast display layouts of hazards and key facts right on a mobile tablet. “Therefore they arrive very well informed about what’s exactly on the property,” said former Pickering resident Dathan Liblik, a managing partner of FLI. This helps firefighters make quick and effective decisions while reducing personal risk. It all started when Mr. Liblik, who now lives in Pickering Village, was talking with a neighbour who is also an acting platoon chief with Pickering Fire Services. After discussing ways technology could benefit firefighting in Pickering, FLI offered to design, build, and operate the FireSite system at no cost to the City. FLI has provided all hardware and com- munications at its own cost as a community benefit project for the City, while retaining all product ownership and intellectual property rights. In 1986, Mr. Liblik’s own childhood home in Pickering was gutted by an electrical fire. “I’ve seen first-hand the tremendous cour- age of our intrepid firefighters when entering a fire-consumed building ‘blind’ of informa- tion about the internal contents and layout,” he said. “FireSite is for me as much a personal contribution as it is an economic one: I had always hoped to find a way to show my appre- ciation for these incredible men and women.” Pickering Fire Services met regularly with FLI in 2015 to establish requirements, review designs, and field test the beta version of the system. All Pickering fire trucks, command vehicles, fire halls, and dispatch centres are now equipped with FireSite. “It’s live, it’s operating, it’s been deployed across the city and it only took a few days to do it,” said Mr. Liblik. Mayor Dave Ryan said he’s proud of the partnership. “I commend proud Pickering resident, Dathan Liblik, for working with Pickering Fire Services to come up with this technologically advanced solution,” said Mayor Ryan. “In addition, this project bol- sters Pickering’s burgeoning reputation as a business-friendly locale, and a hub for inno- vation and technology.” Pickering using world-class technology to fight fires PICKERING from page 1 PICKERING -- What Pickering firefighters see when they log on to FireSite.

Content is protected by copyright. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 As we head into 2016, staff and coun- cillors in municipalities across Durham Region are concerning themselves with some different numbers. If they haven’t already started their bud- get process, the level of government we most closely interact with will be setting dates for public meetings and sitting down to decide priorities for 2016 and the years to come. The budget process for municipalities is always a game of give and take, mov- ing one item from column A to column B and then column C so taxpayers don’t get a shock to their wallet. While new development and provin- cial grants make up a portion of a munic- ipal budget, local taxpayers are the main source of income for municipalities. The municipalities in turn use our hard-earned cash to pave local roads, keep our water clean and flowing and make sure our trash and recyclables are picked up every week or two. So it is incumbent upon our elected officials and staff to do what they can to keep our taxes as low as possible while maintaining the level of service we have come to expect. If people cannot afford their municipal taxes, they will look for a cheaper place to live which in turn hurts a municipality’s bottom line. To help decide what is and isn’t impor- tant to communities in Durham, local municipalities hold public meetings to give taxpayers a chance to have their say in the budget process. Those meetings will be coming up soon and if history is any mark- er, the chambers where they’re held will be as empty as a bottle of Champagne on New Year’s Day. To their credit, many local councillors do everything they can to reach out to their constituents, to hear what they have to say. And every year, silence rings back. Public budget meetings rarely attract large crowds. Some municipalities even give their residents an opportunity to offer sug- gestions online. That move has seen some positives and should be tried by more municipalities. If you have made some New Year’s res- olutions in 2016, why not add one more? Attend one budget meeting. See what your local municipality does with your money and offer any suggestion you think would help the process. We pay a lot of taxes in Durham to have safe communities and bridges that aren’t falling down. The least we can do is make sure we have a say in how that money is spent. Check your municipality’s website for date and times for budget meetings and make an effort to attend. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Agree? Disagree? Send us a letter to the editor, max. 200 words. newsroom@durhamregion.com, our opinion Have your say on Durham municipal budgets in 2016 Tread lightly around the grocery store conveyor belt column I n the last part of 2015 my wife found a job she loves. It allows her to use skills she was taught in school and has developed over time. Because it is in the retail industry, she often works weekends, which means I have had to do some of our grocery shop- ping on weekends. I don’t mind walking up and down the aisles with all the other lost males look- ing for just the right kind of blue menu frozen dinner. I look at it as exercise. But I have come to view the checkout area as a type of war zone, an area where novice shoppers should not tread lightly. The moving conveyor belt at the check- out area is a source of continued humour and aggravation. For some it is their per- sonal space that no one is allowed to intrude upon. Standing in line I can feel the contempt from the person behind me if I do not start placing my groceries on the belt as soon as there is space. And God help me if I don’t put the divider before and after my groceries. I prefer to have a little bit of space between my groceries and the per- son in front of me but there are people who will start filling up the conveyor belt the moment they see any space available once the divider has been put down. And they pile food items on top of each other as if they think there won’t be any- more space coming. You can also see the sweat start to run down some shoppers’ faces if they can’t find the divider to separate their grocer- ies from the person behind them. I have also had people nudge me for- ward while standing in line so they can start setting down their groceries on the belt, as if that 10 seconds is going to make a huge difference in their lives. Who knew shopping could be a contact sport? If you see managing editor Mike Johnston walking up and down an aisle with a lost look, it’s because the dipping sauce isn’t where he was told it would be. mike Johnston Managing Editor 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 • Ja n u a r y 6 , 2 0 1 6 7 AP 1880 Glengrove Road, Pickering, Ontario Call 905.831.2088 or visit vivalife.caMaking Today Great!

The 29-year-old man was on his way home from a long night of studying in 2011 when he decided to stop at Subway for a meal. What followed was a series of events that led to him being followed by police and temporar- ily placed in handcuffs in what the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario has called a case of racial profiling. According to the Tribunal judgment, two Durham Regional Police officers ran his plates while Mr. Briggs was eating, mistak- enly believing he was a prohibited driver, and did not allow him to leave in his car. When he returned to pick it up later, they followed him, pulled him over and detained him. The tribunal found that constables Chris Delaney and Jason Dimech racially tar- geted Mr. Briggs and the Durham Regional Police Service was ordered to pay Mr. Briggs $10,000. It also found that one of the officers “tai- lored his evidence after having the benefit of hearing his partner’s evidence.” Durham Police were unable to respond to repeated requests for comment from the Toronto Star on Tuesday, Dec. 22. Mr. Briggs believes his race was the factor that led to the arrest. “I didn’t do anything,” he told the Star. “Me being a black man is what made them inves- tigate.” After a five-day trial the Human Rights Tri- bunal of Ontario agreed with Mr. Briggs. “Running someone’s licence plates because they are black, or with race as a factor in why the licence plate was run, and later waiting to catch the individual driving as a form of reprisal are, objectively, very serious human rights issues for a police force,” read the deci- sion from vice-chair Alison Renton. In the decision the officers involved are quoted as saying they found the lone vehicle suspicious because it was in the parking lot of a restaurant that had been robbed recently. Under cross-examination Const. Dimech said race didn’t play a role in the officers’ decision to run the plates. “That is 100 per cent false and we ran the plates for vehicle information,” he stated. The officers alleged in testimony that Mr. Briggs called them names including “white devils.” Mr. Briggs denied calling them names, “but admitted he said they were white and their skin burns in the sun,” according to the judgment. The tribunal decision comes at a time of strain and distrust between racial minorities and police services across North America. “I feel vindicated,” Mr. Briggs, who stud- ied child and youth care, said in an interview after the ruling. “I just hope this brings more attention to what black men go through in North America.” Mindy Noble, Mr. Briggs’s lawyer, told the Star a “radical shift” in police culture and training needs to take place or these types of incidences will continue to happen. “I think this case show that police can’t just see someone’s race and run that person’s plates,” she said, adding it “shows the harm that can be done when an investigation is started without a legitimate law enforcement basis. The provincial government needs to re-examine its proposed new regulation on police stops,” typically known as carding. Ms. Noble is also attempting to negotiate a “public interest remedy” with Durham police which could involve specific training for offi- cers. “I think for Joseph and other black men who are getting stopped a lot, the impact kind of compounds with each time,” she said. “Every time he goes out in his car he has to worry, ‘Am I going to be able to go out and get a sandwich today or am I going to get stopped by the police?’ ” Mr. Briggs shared a similar sentiment. While he was happy that the tribunal found in his favour, he said it’s only a matter of time until he’s stopped again. “This particular night, sure, they held the police to account, but this is going to reoccur,” said Mr. Briggs. “I’m still left with every other night. I’m still wondering when I’m going to be stopped next.” -- Torstar news service Rights tribunal orders Durham police to pay $10,000 to man who was racially targeted Joseph Briggs which could involve specific training for offi- “I think for Joseph and other black men who are getting stopped a lot, the impact kind of compounds with each time,” she said. “Every time he goes out in his car he has to worry, ‘Am I going to be able to go out and get a sandwich today or am I going to get stopped Mr. Briggs shared a similar sentiment. 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 • Ja n u a r y 6 , 2 0 1 6 11 AP www.durhamcollege.ca/coned |905.721.2000 ext. 2500 Continuing Education winter registration is happening now.

One suspect was treated at hospital for minor injuries following the incident, at a residence in Cannington Jan. 4, Durham police said. The man was using butane to make hash oil when the explosion occurred, police said. Cops seized marijuana and 10 unli- censed guns. Charged are Ronnie Dale, 52, and 40-year-old Teddy Martin, both of Cannington.

He lives with his wife, Linda, in Los Angeles, and they have one son, Mark, who is his manager. I know what it feels like to be objectified. For a long time my image overpowered my talent. The whole sex thing. You become this carica- ture of yourself, because you’re doing two Las Vegas shows a night and trying to please the crowd. I always thought my voice would blow through all that. But no, not always. If you’ve ever had an illness, you know not to take life for granted. I was bedridden with TB from the age of 12 to 14. I’d see kids out in the street and I couldn’t go and play with them. That had a big impact. Never underestimate the extent to which people want to have sex with celebrities on TV. I remember seeing Marilyn Monroe when I was a teenager and just thinking she was this exotic sex goddess. So you’re aware of what people are attracted to, because you’ve felt it yourself from the other side of the screen. There’s an attraction that comes with the job that’s addictive. Even when I was a kid and got up and sang in school, I didn’t just get attention from girls, but from the fel- las I knew, too. Put a pen in my hand and I start to sweat. I’m dyslexic. I can read any word you put in front of me, but ask me to write it and five minutes later I’m still there. You can never predict when the knickers are going to get thrown. That’s the worst thing about it. If it’s during an up-tempo song, fine. But then I’ll be singing The Green, Green Grass of Home and they’ll start flying. You think, my God, I’m singing about a man in jail dreaming about home and I’ve got a pair of knickers on my head. It gets out of hand. A lot of people still think I’m black. When I first came to America, people who had heard me sing on the radio would be surprised that I was white when they saw me. Because of my hair, a lot of black people still tell me I’m just passing as white. When I was born, my moth- er came out in big dark patches all over her body. They asked if she had any black blood What I’ve learned and she said she didn’t know. I’m going to get my DNA tested. I want to find out. What you’re taught as a child isn’t always the truth. When I was a kid we were told to boo Winston Churchill when we saw him on newsreels. Coming from south Wales, they never got over the 1926 miners’ strike. Sup- posedly, when he was told that the miners were starving, he just said they should “tight- en their belts”. But then I got older and started reading history and I realized how great he really was. I always think I’ve got more time than I have. Which means I’m always late. I don’t know why. I’m a lover, not a fighter. I never got off on violence. I once beat up a boy who wouldn’t stop picking on me and, when I got home, I cried because it upset me so much. Be a gentleman. I’ve always respected the female sex. I try not to swear in front of women, even if they swear a lot themselves. A woman can tell you to go f*** yourself in the blink of an eye now, but I still feel a twinge if someone is using bad language around them. I think you should open doors for them and offer them your seat. I know a lot of women who say you don’t need to do this for us. But I feel better when I do. There’s not much I’m good at. Singing has always been my knockout punch. – The Times Magazine / The Interview People Join us for an exciting afternoon where we will explore both the rivers and highways of Europe.

Managing care for an aging par- ent is a challenge but help is out there. You just have to know where to look. Your first partner should always be the family doctor. Your parents’ doctor can ensure your mom or dad is taking the correct medications and can rec- ommend services that might be help- ful. The doctor may make a referral for your parent to a geriatric specialist or the Geriatric Assessment and Interven- tion Network Clinic. The next call I would make to get help would be to the Community Care Access Centre. The CCAC is a govern- ment-funded organization that will co- ordinate various types of care in the community and I should mention that it is not limited to assisting seniors, it help anyone in the community who needs it, from children to seniors; peo- ple in retirement residences to people being discharged from hospital as well as people with chronic care needs at home. There are 14 CCAC offices in Ontar- io based on geography. In Durham Region, we are supported by the Cen- tral East CCAC which can be reached at 1-800-263-3877. When you call to ask for assistance, you may be asked to participate in a telephone interview to provide prelim- inary information, if you are the client or the person who holds power of attor- ney for the client. Your file will then be assigned to a care co-ordinator who will schedule a visit to the home for an assessment of the needs of the client. Referrals may then be made to vari- ous service providers including but not limited to physiotherapy, occupa- tional therapy, nursing and home care. The care co-ordinator will be a great resource for you in terms of what ser- vices are available and what services can be funded either partially or totally by the government. The care co-ordinator can also assist if the application process needs to be started for long-term care. In my career, I have met too many people who needed help but didn’t know what was available to them. I once met a lady who told me she slept on the floor for months beside her husband’s bed while he battled can- cer because she didn’t know she could have caregivers come into their home to help her. It is my fervent hope that the infor- mation I have provided here will be the catalyst to get help for those who need it but don’t know where to turn.

She loves the outdoors especially, being close to water and unwinds by reading a good book. Anne Murphy Forever Young columnist By Habeeb Salloum Tajines are the second favoured dish in Morocco, right after couscous. Cooked from all types of meat and veg- etables, as well as, at times, with almonds, fruit and eggs, they are on the everyday menu. In Morocco, tajines are cooked over very low heat for many long hours, at times overnight, producing in almost every case, a tasty dish. On the other hand, the tajine in this rec- ipe was created for the fast-paced lives of the rushing North American cooks. Despite the traditional slow-cooking process being the authentic one, the meth- ods below still produce a superb nourish- ing and delectable dish. Egg and Almond Stew - Tajine Tufaaya Serves 4 to 6 3 tablespoons butter 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1 pinch saffron 2 pounds beef or lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes 6 1/2 cups water 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh corian- der 4 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup slivered almonds 4 hard-boiled eggs, shelled and quartered Melt butter in a saucepan, then add the onion, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, saffron and meat. Stir-fry over medium heat until meat begins to brown then add water and coriander. Cover, then cook over low heat for 2 hours or until meat is well cooked, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary. Turn off heat and set aside. Heat oil over medium-low in a frying pan, then add almonds and sauté until golden. Remove from oil and set aside. Place meat with its sauce in a serving platter, then garnish with almonds. Place egg quarters spaced evenly on top, then serve hot with instant couscous or cooked rice.

But the amounts they can set aside for goals such as children’seducation or retirement may be limited. That doesn’t mean single parents don’t have good options for planning their future. The right investment strategies can help ensure goals are realized. The key is to get started right away on a plan to invest regularly.The sooner you setgoals and invest, the more you will accumulate. If you’re a single parent, avoid the common trap of putting your children’s financial future before your own. Don’t focus on education savings and wait until the childrenare off to university before saving for your own retirement.You could find yourself in a financial predicament when you retire. Invest in both your children’s and your future at the same time. Time and discipline are valuable investments assets. Don’t be intimidated by how little you might have to invest.Any amount is better than nothing. If you’re not sure where to start, get help from an investment professional.

Shiv Bansal Team Four suspects sought in Ajax robbery AJAX -- Police are searching for four suspects after a 17-year-old from Ajax was robbed. The teen was walking through the park behind Roberta Bond- ar Public School, located north- west of Old Harwood Avenue and Magill Drive recently when he was approached by a man asking for a lighter. According to police, the sus- pect grabbed the victim by the arm and led him to three other males who demanded cash. The victim had no money in his wal- let, so one of the suspects ripped a gold chain off of his neck. The suspects fled on foot. The victim was not physically injured. The first suspect is described as black with a dark complexion, 18 to 22 years old, and about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He was wear- ing a blue Adidas jacket and black toque with a dark hoodie. The second suspect is described as black with a light complex- ion, 18 to 22 years old and about 6 feet tall. He was wearing a beige jacket. The third suspect is described as black, 18 to 22 years old, and wearing a black jacket with three red stripes on the arm. The fourth suspect is described as black, 18 to 22 years old and about 6 feet tall. He was wearing a grey jacket. Anyone with new informa- tion about this investigation is asked to contact Detective Jamie Derusha of West Division Crim- inal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2535.

On the evening of December 31st 2015 Lynne Rohland passed peacefully in the arms of her soul mate Gary Kaljuvee. They were together for thirty-three years here, and continue on in spirit. Surrounded by her three loving children Sara, Emily and Conner and lifelong best friends, Yvonne, Ed and Elaine. Lynne was born October 29th, 1962, in Newmarket, Ontario to Margret and Ken Rohland. Sister to Karyn and Mark. Lynne was always a strong woman from day one. Everyone's lives who Lynne touched were inspired or motivated to be a better person. Lynne Rohland did not go down without a fight and battled cancer for over ten years with grace and fearlessness. Lynne exceeded expectations, she always stood up for what was right and always finished what she started. Lynne decided she was going to end 2015 the right way; fighting until the very end and surpassing all odds.
