This was the scene at the sec- ond round of Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission hearings re- garding OPG's request for a li- cence extension to operate the Pickering power plant to 2024, fol- lowed by safe storage activities until 2028. The plant is currently scheduled to close on Aug. 31. Shawn-Patrick Stensil, senior energy analyst for Greenpeace, spoke Thursday at the Pickering Recreation Complex during the hearings. The CNSC will make the decision on the extension request. In his submission on behalf of Greenpeace, Stensil said there is no justification for Pickering's op- eration and the commission should reject OPG's "request to ex- pose millions of people within the (Greater Toronto Area) to the pos- sibility of a nuclear accident." The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commision held public hearings at the Pickering Recreation Complex as Ontario Power Generation is seeking a 10-year license extension for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Shawn-Patrick Stensil, an Energy Analyst for Greenpeace, spoke at the hearings on Thursday, June 28. The group is in favour of closing the station.

The first round took place in Ot- tawa in April. "I think my team's done a very good job. There was a lot of work upfront for this but the team has responded very well," said Sean Gran- ville, OPG's deputy chief nuclear officer, in an inter- view. He said it's important to OPG that input is fact- and science-based, but all the input from residents, non- governmental organiza- tions and experts alike makes the hearing process as strong as it is. "We value it all," he said. Stensil criticized emer- gency planning to the com- mittee, a common theme from the day's critics. He noted a presentation by the Toronto District School Board and the To- ronto Catholic District School Board that took place on Monday night, in which teachers asked that KI (potassium iodide) pills to protect the thyroid gland be stockpiled in Toronto-ar- ea schools. "We are concerned that students near (OPG's) Pick- ering and Darlington nucle- ar stations are being provid- ed less public safety than students near Bruce Pow- er's nuclear station on Lake Huron," the submission stated. Bruce Power has en- sured that KI is stockpiled in all schools within 50 kilo- metres of its nuclear sta- tions. Greenpeace this week filed three written requests for rulings with the com- mission. The commission is required to make a decision on them. The first asks that a nu- clear emergency prepared- ness campaign be estab- lished in the GTA. The second asks for an environmental review of OPG's decommissioning approach and the possible long-term management of waste on site. The third asks for word- ing to be removed from the licence that would allow the continued operation of the plant without a public hear- ing. "I think we're at the point where you can say 'enough is enough,'" Stensil said. He also made a request for documentation to show how OPG will ensure that it will control the use and oc- cupation of land within 20 kilometres of the site to maintain safety margins. "This doesn't pass the common sense test for most people that you can operate a nuclear reactor in an ur- ban area," he told the com- mission. The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade spoke in support of the licence re- newal. "OPG has a proven safe- ty record, currently the best in history, and makes an in- credible contribution to the local economy, creating al- most 3,000 jobs in Durham Region alone," said board president Christine Ash- ton. Janet McNeill, Durham Nuclear Awareness co-or- dinator, criticized many as- pects of OPG's operation of the plant, including emer- gency preparedness. She referenced the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011. "Could there be a serious accident here? Of course there could. Everyone knows that," she said. The advocacy group was granted funding from the CNSC to poll the public on specific issues for the pur- pose of the hearing and pre- sented its results. The poll found 93 per cent of those surveyed want detailed nuclear emergen- cy plans in place to protect residents from a possible large-scale accident at Pick- ering (or Darlington). "Population density around the Pickering sta- tion is already too high yet intensification is being stepped up," McNeill said. The poll also found 87 per cent believe the radius for predistribution of KI pills should be extended. Currently its delivered within 10 kilometres. Only 17 per cent are aware they can order the KI pills free from preparetobesafe.ca. The Regional Municipal- ity of Durham also present- ed at the hearing, support- ing continued operation, in large part, because of the jobs it provides. The region's chief ad- ministrative officer Garry Cubitt did state the Region has concerns about the lack of plans for jobs at the end of the 10-year extension. In the region's submissi- on, it asked that OPG pre- pare and make public plans on how it will mitigate neg- ative impacts of the station's retirement, including tran- sition plans for affected workers. The region seeks com- pensation for used nuclear fuel storage until a new lo- cation is found. Cubitt noted other com- munities are compensated for this. "Durham should be as well," he said. The region's submission asked for a number of other resolutions including that the CNSC ensure the prov- ince implements its updat- ed Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan in a timely, transparent and accountable manner. It also seeks funding from OPG or the province for the implementation of the latest emergency re- sponse plans. Mary-Anne Pietrusiak, Durham Region epidemiol- ogist, was questioned by the commission about cancer rates in Durham Region, and whether they seemed to be higher close to the Pick- ering plant. "No, there's nothing that comes out in terms of par- ticularly higher rates that would be linked to the nu- clear plants," she said. She added Pickering does well in terms of fetal and maternal health. Louis Bertrand, a mem- ber of the public who has a background in electrical engineering, shared his concerns with the aging digital control computer equipment of the 47-year- old plant and asked that OPG take concrete steps to ensure new software and maintenance of existing software is developed after an extensive process. Commission president Michael Binder asked staff, in the case of a "doomsday scenario" if the software failed, will the unit shut down safely? "The short answer would be, the primary safe- ty systems are all fail-safe so if something does go wrong, the unit will shut down as opposed to (con- tinuing to operate)," said Gerry Frappier, the CNSC's directorate of power reac- tor regulation's director general. He added CNSC staff are confident in the effective- ness of the software. Granville said the plant is as safe today as it's ever been. "We've demonstrated our plant is safe today and it's going to be safer tomor- row with some of the con- tinued investment we're go- ing to do," he said.

It sounded wonderful, with stops and adventures throughout Australia and New Zea- land. It also, unfortunate- ly, sounded pricey. Like, sell a kidney pricey. But it got me to think- ing. I wondered if perhaps I couldn't arrange my own, fiscally scaled down but nonetheless spiritually nourishing journey. Turns out it isn't that difficult. Rising with the sun, we begin Day 1 with a rever- ent stop at my personal house of worship ... the Gravenhurst Bakery. After consulting with the High Priestesses of sticky good- ness we are sent on our way, each participant con- tently clutching a brown paper bag of lardy holiness ... otherwise known as the Fritter of Knowledge. Our pilgrimage then takes us to the nearest espresso shrine where, after suppli- cating ourselves in front of the altar of caffeinated glo- ry, we take a moment of si- lence. Each of us dipping the Fritter of Knowledge into a steaming cup of dark-roasted perspective ... letting the unsurpassed perfection of that moment wash over us and down our gullets. Bliss. To feed the soul we must also feed the mind, of course, and so our next stop finds us happily wan- dering the aisles of a book- store, some of us still nib- bling on the aforemen- tioned coffee and dough- nuts, while our brains hap- pily mouth titles we might like to take home with us, already planning hours of leisurely, silent escape in- to pages and pages of mag- ic. Once literarily sated, we make our way, book- bags bulging with prom- ised reading joy, to yet an- other sacred landmark ... Dairy Queen. Here, amid the rhythmic, whirring chant of the compressors we are greeted by uni- formed vassals of sugary love, who remind us, with their many and varied, caramel-covered offer- ings, that life is sweet. We leave with the understand- ing that there is no diffi- culty that cannot be sur- mounted by sprinkling nuts and chocolate on it. Finally we end our jour- ney at the holy of holies ... the LCBO. Taking our time, we wander, awe- struck and mute, down row upon row of glimmer- ing amber perfection. The wisdom contained within these glass vessels is un- limited and unknowable. And yet, we must try. And try we must ... until finally, a waiting taxi gently shep- herds us back to homes and waiting beds. All of us a little fuller and perhaps heavier for our spiritual journey. -Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column My personal spiritual junket Columnist Neil Crone savours the sweetness of life NEIL CRONE Column To the editor: We are senior citizens who visited rink one at the Tribute Centre this past Sunday. We parked in the event parking lot across from the arena as we had the previous Sun- day because the parking lot at rink one is very small. We did know it was for events, but planned on be- ing out of there in an hour, which was way ahead of when the event parking would take place. It was raining and there wasn't any on-street parking. When we returned our car wasn't where we left it. It got towed. Thanks to a young couple for helping us out as their vehicle had been towed also. We didn't have any idea what we had to do. They gave us the name of the towing com- pany and phone number. They called their dad who lives in Oshawa and he was kind enough to give my husband a ride to the impound lot. When I spoke to the towing company they said they would waive the cost to use dollies to tow our vehicle. Apparently they have to use these to tow an AWD vehicle. This cost us $192.10. When we came out of the arena directly across the street was a parking attendant with a sign that read parking $10. We would have gladly paid the $10, but he wasn't there when we went in the other lot. All in all it wasn't a very good experience vis- iting this arena, there was a bump in the floor getting to the washrooms and a couple of people fell. Then the washrooms were blocked off because of the event at the Tribute Cen- tre. There was one wash- room in a dressing room that we were able to use, but someone had to stand guard because there wasn't a lock on the door. There wasn't any soap or towels either. I hope in the future that this facility isn't used for our grand- son's hockey. I wonder if the tow truck was waiting down the street for people to park and then grab their vehicle? Seems like easy money to me and not a good way to treat visitors to this facility.

DURHAM - A judge has sentenced Wesley Guzylak to life in prison for the mur- der of his ex-girlfriend Co- tie Weekley, citing the kill- ing as "yet another" exam- ple of an angry, possessive man committing violence against a domestic partner. "No woman should live in fear of losing or actually lose her life at the hands of a jealous, angry, control- ling partner," Superior Court Justice Michelle Fuerst said in setting pa- role eligibility for Guzylak at 14 years and nine months. "Ms. Weekley had done nothing to provoke the at- tack," the judge said during a sentencing hearing Tues- day, June 26 in Oshawa. "She was well within her rights to end her relation- ship with Mr. Guzylak." Guzylak pleaded guilty in May to second-degree murder in the death of Weekley, 31, who was am- bushed and stabbed as she returned to the north Osh- awa home she shared with her young daughter in ear- ly 2017. The child, seven at the time, witnessed the at- tack on her mother and was then kept in the house overnight by Guzylak, court heard. Guzylak, a heavy drink- er, was violent and control- ling toward Weekley prior to her death. "He became angry and mean when he was drinking," Fuerst said. "He accused her of cheat- ing on him." Weekley had ended her tumultuous relationship with Guzylak just prior to the killing and had asked him to remove his belong- ings from her home. Weekley, a single mom who held down two jobs, was at work when Guzylak travelled by public transit from Toronto to Oshawa on Jan. 22, 2017. He broke into her house and lay in wait, confronting Weekley when she and her daughter ar- rived home in the evening. "Mr. Guzylak murdered Ms. Weekley in front of her seven-year-old daughter," the judge noted. The morning after the killing, Guzylak sent the girl to a neighbour's house with instructions to call 911; the child ran by the body of her mother as she fled, Fuerst said. Police ar- riving at the house found Guzylak bleeding from a self-inflicted wound to his neck. A picture drawn by the daughter of murder victim Cotie Weekley following the 31-year-old Oshawa woman's killing in early 2017. Wesley Guzylak has pleaded guilty to second- degree murder. The pic- ture was entered as an ex- hibit during a sentencing hearing on Wednesday, May 9. Charged after his re- lease from hospital, Guzy- lak soon confessed to the killing. He has since been under psychiatric care at the Central East Correc- tions Centre, Fuerst said. "He has had suicidal thoughts," the judge said. "He says his alcoholism de- stroyed his life." The killing has shat- tered Weekley's family, bringing crushing grief on her mother and siblings and leaving her daughter with an "almost unthink- able" burden early in her life, the judge said. "She will grow up not knowing the love, support and companionship that only a mother can pro- vide," Fuerst noted. Although he is guilty of a terrible crime, Guzylak is to be credited for his guilty plea and other measures he has taken to ensure the lit- tle girl never had to testify in court, said Fuerst.

Nicholas Tyler Baig made a brief appearance in an Oshawa courtroom Tuesday, June 26 and was remanded to July 6, when lawyers will meet with a j udge to discuss issues related to the case. Baig, who has been in custody since his arrest in April of 2017, recently retained a new lawyer, court heard. Baig, who was 25 at the time of his arrest, is charged with first-de- gree murder in the death of his wife, Arianna Go- berdhan, who was found with obvious signs of trauma by police re- sponding to a report of a disturbance at a resi- dence on Winville Road on April 7, 2017. Goberd- han was nine months pregnant at the time; the child also died. An autopsy revealed Goberdhan had been stabbed, Durham police said at the time of the in- cident. Baig, who was arrest- ed in Markham the day after Goberdhan's death, was originally charged with second-degree mur- der, but that charge was upgraded soon after he was taken into custody.

And I love to travel the world. Your character in “Book Club” is having a lot of fun with a dating app. Is that something you would ever try in real life? No. I have been married for almost 20 years. It’s not on my horizon anymore. I don’t even know how I feel about friends doing it. I love face-to-face contact, and that is not being nur- tured anymore. But I do know which way to swipe if I really had to. You miss the old romantic way of being courted? Well, as I said, I am happily married. But there is something to be said about the way men used to court women in a roman- tic way, right? Nowadays it just seems as if something is lost with modern technology. But isn’t it kind of scary to have to “face” your potential partner in an open setting? At least an app is safe… I think it’s more interesting to meet, there is more risk and there is more of a game. And I used to enjoy that a lot. You said you are happily married for almost 20 years. So, what is the secret of a good marriage? You have to marry the right guy. And a man has to have a good sense of humour, that’s very important. He needs to make me laugh. And my husband is not in this business. He does real estate. at helps as well. What is your take on the MeToo movement going forward? ings have already changed a bit. And I think it’s up to the women to keep moving it forward. And it’s up to us to nd a forum for dialogue between men and women. Men need to be included in this conversation. What is your insider knowledge to understanding men? Oh, they are much simpler creatures. I love men, but they are just so much simpler. ey just need to eat, have good sex and football. at’s simplistic, but a lot of men are blessed about not agonizing about as much stu as I do. How are you di erent today as an actor? I am more at peace with my mind. When I was younger I feared this age, but now I am here and I am still working I am happy. It’s unusual that we are working. I still enjoy it. A lot of much younger women than us don’t get work anymore. Is it a taboo to talk about “older” people having sex? Old people have sex. It’s just a fact. It’s not a taboo. Life doesn’t end with age, it deepens. We don’t want to die before we are actually dying. Who is a person that you admire? I am in awe of Jane Fonda. She is in a league of her own. She is an utter inspiration to be around. It’s crazy to see that she is 80. e energy she has is unreal. She always self examines, she pays attention like a hawk. She really is one of the most incredible people I have ever met. So, “Murphy Brown” revival is happening? Yes, it is happening. We are doing another season. I think of the reaction we’ve been getting is that people seem to be very excited. Can you talk a bit about what the show might look like now? Oh, we have so much to work with now. ere is so much going on politically in this country. I think you will nd a re ection of that in our show. ere is a lot of fuel. Candice, do you mind getting older on television? Of course I mind, what woman would not mind? But there is nothing you can do about it. It comes with the package. And all you can do is try to cope with it as well as you can. I am pretty content where I am in my life right now, so that’s a good thing. Candice Bergen and her husband, Marshall Rose.

If you’re planning to boost the amount of fixed income investments you hold, make sure you choose wisely. In particular, don’t focus only on money-market funds or GICs. Although these can be good short-term “parking spots” while you ponder longer-term options, they tend to offer lower returns than many other types of income investments. Over the long term, you may be better served by bonds.When you invest in quality bonds, the fixed income portion of your portfolio can generate a higher level of income, without going overboard on risk. Bonds issued by governments and blue-chip corporations are generally secure and offer greater returns than money market funds or GICs. In fact, because of the global credit crunch, many quality corporate bonds have not had rates this attractive in many years, so now may be an ideal time to buy. Speak with your financial advisor about implementing a fixed-income strategy that is appropriate for your needs and circumstances.

The Durham District School Board se- lected the name of the Canadian business- person and civil rights icon. The school is at 39 Formosa Dr. and will be 75,500 square feet, two-storeys, and fully- accessible. Desmond is best known for challenging racial segregation at a cinema in New Glas- gow, N.S., in 1946. She refused to leave a whites-only area of the theatre and helped start the modern civil rights movement in Canada. Desmond will also be the first Canadian- born woman to appear alone on Canadian currency when her image will be on the $10 bill, set to start in circulation later this year. "Viola Desmond Public School will be a welcome addition to the community of north Ajax," says Patrice Barnes, Ajax trustee for Wards 1 and 2. "We are very proud of the name chosen as it reflects the diversity of Ajax. Our students and parents are excited to have a community school they can call their own." Michael Barrett, chair of the DDSB and an Oshawa trustee, noted he's pleased to be able to complete the process of naming schools in both Ajax and Oshawa. A new Oshawa school is being named Northern Dancer Public School, after the iconic Ca- nadian race horse who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes in 1964. Northern Dancer was bred and raised at Windfield Farms in Oshawa. "The Durham District School board is pleased to announce the naming of our schools in Oshawa and Ajax. The names that have been chosen were completed through a consultative process that en- gaged our community and reflects the lead- ership and history of our communities," Barrett said. "We congratulate our commu- nities and look forward to the contributing role these schools will play within their communities." Northern Dancer Public School is also slated to open this September.

It runs on July 10, 11 and 12, from 1 to 3:30 each day at the McLean Community Centre, 95 Magill Dr., Ajax. Youths between the ages of 12 and 14 and interested in baby- sitting will be interested in the three-day Babysitting Course.
