And when to do it? Simple enough questions, but the answers are anything but when it comes to plans for the Pickering waterfront land cur- rently home to Ontario Power Generation (OPG)'s nuclear sta- tion. With the end of electricity production at the plant set for December 2024, after 53 years of operation, the decommissioning process that follows will be of great interest to the 90,000-plus residents of Pickering, and many more beyond its borders.

Part of this plan is to bring more frequent and reliable transit service, known as Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit, along Highway 2 and Ellesmere Road. The Project The proposed Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit is a crucial transportation corridor connecting people through Durham Region and Scarborough. Metrolinx is studying the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit with our partners in Durham Region and City of Toronto. An Initial Business Case was completed in Spring 2018 to define the corridor and identify initial project costs and benefits, which will be refined as the project progresses. Learn more We invite you to attend the second Public Information Centre for the Durham-Scarborough Bus Rapid Transit project. Public Information Centre #1 was held in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering in June and in Scarborough in September 2019. The project team will present the technically preferred option to implement the Bus Rapid Transit system in constrained areas for your input, specifically Downtown Oshawa, Downtown Whitby, Pickering Village (in Ajax), and Ellesmere Road east of Military Trail. Proposed Bus Rapid Transit stop locations will also be presented for feedback, as well as updates on the technical studies completed to date. The project team will be on-hand to answer questions and collect feedback. The public meetings will be drop-in format. Presentations, followed by a question and answer period, will be held in Scarborough, Whitby and Oshawa. The venues are barrier free. Contact us if you require other accessibility accommodations. All information produced as part of this project is available at www.metrolinxengage.com Comments Comments and information regarding this study are being collected to assist the study team in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. The impact of the transit project is planned to be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in O. Reg. 231/08. Information will be collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

SAVING YOU MORE For more details go instore or online @thebrick.com. DURHAM - Dafonte Miller was car-hopping - stealing items from parked vehicles - on the night he was involved in an alterca- tion that left him seriously injured, a court has heard. Miller and another young man had entered a pick-up truck when they were confronted and fled, a witness testified as the tri- al of two men accused of as- sault resumed Monday morning in Oshawa. Witness Bradley Goode testified Nov. 4 that he joined Miller and another youth as they walked through residential areas in Whitby in the early morning hours of Dec. 28, 2016, checking cars for change and other items of value. "I was trailing behind a bit and they were up ahead of me," Goode told prosecu- tor Peter Scrutton. "They went into this truck ... the garage door came open. They both hopped out and shut the doors and started running." Michael Theriault, a To- ronto police officer, and his brother Christian The- riault have pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault and obstruction of justice. The Crown alleges the men used excessive force in de- taining Miller, then misled Durham police officers in- vestigating the incident. Miller sustained serious injuries that led to the loss of his left eye during the in- cident. Goode testified that on the evening before the inci- dent he met up with Miller and another man named AJ, who told him they planned to go car-hopping that night. He said the group targeted between 10 and 15 cars before Miller and the other man entered a pick-up in a driveway on Erickson Drive. Goode said his friends bolted when the garage doors opened - AJ in one di- rection and Miller in an- other, with two men in pur- suit. He said he ran off and hid. Eventually he was re- united with AJ and the two laid low until they could catch a taxi out of the neighbourhood. "We didn't know what to do," he said. "There was po- lice everywhere." Under cross examina- tion by Michael Lacy, the defence lawyer for Michael Theriault, Goode said he had no reason to paint Miller in a negative light, or to shape his story to help the Theriaults - men he does not know. Such a proposition would be "cra- zy", Lacy suggested. "Yes," Goode agreed. In other testimony Dur- ham police officer Justine Gendron said she took a statement from Christian Theriault, who confirmed he and his brother Michael had chased and struggled with a man they'd seen in a truck outside the family home. When Miller was cor- nered in a narrow side yard between two houses he started swinging a metal pole, Theriault told the of- ficer. Theriault said he'd been hit in the head, arms and body, Gendron said. "He just turned and hit me with it. I didn't even see it coming," the officer quot- ed Christian Theriault as saying. The trial continues in Oshawa.

Andrew Francis Wallace/Torstar It wasn't the worst mis- take I've made in my life but I sure regretted it. Wad- ing through thigh-high brush wearing yoga pants and coming out covered in seeds. A million tiny hitch- hikers that grabbed on so well the clingy black fabric was studded with them. No wonder cowboys wear chaps and farmers wear coveralls! It wasn't burrs from bur- dock, those marble-sized spiked balls that get tan- gled in your hair or sweat- er. Wasn't the comma- shaped, fish-hook seeds of avens, clusters of which get in your socks but are rela- tively easy to pull off. It wasn't the sticky green pods of agrimony or the prickly seeds of enchant- er's nightshade -- all plants that cleverly expand their range by attaching their DNA packets to any pass- ing fur or clothing. And which I'm ruefully familiar with. What got me were slim flat triangles with two backward-barbed fingers at one end that stabbed and held on. I couldn't brush or even pull them off, and ulti- mately left my pants in a heap at the door. Then later spent a long drive to Hali- burton County picking seeds off one by one with my fingertips and grum- bling instead of enjoying the scenic ride. I even con- sidered throwing the pants out, but that would be a waste of good yoga gear. Dennis, who was driv- ing, said I should look at the barbs with a magnify- ing glass to appreciate the plant's brilliant evolution- ary design for distributing its seeds far and wide, but I didn't have one with me. I'd learned my lesson, howev- er, and vowed to find out what plant had got the best of me. Turned out to be beggar-ticks, a not unat- tractive yellow wildflower, native to Canada, that grows at moist edges of ponds and streams. I knew exactly where I'd encoun- tered them, bushwhacking off a trail in an unfamiliar woods I'd been exploring. I'm still curious how fox- es, bunnies and bears man- age to get these pesky seeds off their ears, legs and tails so they'll fall to the ground and sprout. Friends of Second Marsh are hosting a hike this Saturday at 10 a.m. You might pull your socks up over your pant hems and see what interesting hitch- hikers you collect when you step off the path.

DURHAM - Durham po- lice investigators seized two luxury vehicles valued at more than $400,000 after executing a warrant in Scarborough on Tuesday, Oct. 29. Police received informa- tion from an Oshawa resi- dent who was involved in a collision in Toronto, which saw her vehicle illegally towed and taken to a Scar- borough tow yard. The vic- tim had her vehicle towed without her consent, and the owners were refusing to release the vehicle. The owners of Kabi Au- to Inc. on Manville Road in Scarborough refused to re- lease the vehicle to police. One of the owners was ar- rested and a search war- rant was executed on the property. During the search, po- lice say that two stolen ve- hicles were located on the premises - a 2015 BMW M4 and a 2017 Ferrari 4GS, with a combined value of over $400,000, were seized and two suspects charged. Kabillan Vikneswaran, age 24, of Scarborough, is charged with three counts of theft of motor vehicle and three counts of posses- sion of property obtained by crime over $5,000. Nakul Vikneswaran, age 30, of Scarborough, is charged with two counts of the same offences and fraud over $5,000. Both men were released on a promise to appear. To protect yourself, Durham police offer the following tips: • Know what your insur- ance policy covers. See if you have roadside assis- tance coverage and what the limits are. If you've been in a collision, find out how your car insurance company handles towing and how much your insur- er will cover. •Don't let a towing oper- ator take your vehicle until you view a government of Ontario Towing Consumer Bill of Rights. A towing and storage rates sheet should list towing fees, daily stor- age fees (if any), and all other miscellaneous charges. • You should be in- formed where the vehicle is being towed to and given a copy of an 'Authorization to Tow' the vehicle. • Make sure that the company name on the truck matches the docu- mentation. • Be wary of giving out too much insurance infor- mation. Some fraudulent tow operators use this in- formation for additional scams, like calling the vic- tim and pretending to be their insurer. • If you suspect fraud or if the tow truck driver re- fuses to leave, call the po- lice. Anyone with new infor- mation about this investi- gation is asked to contact Const. Hood of Central East Division at 1-888-579- 1520 ext. 5200. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or on the website at www.dur- hamregionalcrimestop- pers.ca. Tipsters are eligi- ble for a cash reward of up to $2,000. STOLEN BMW, FERRARI SEIZED BY DURHAM COPS CRIME DISCOVERED AFTER ANOTHER CAR ILLEGALLY TOWED FROM ACCIDENT SCENE A 2015 BMW M4 and a 2017 Ferrari 4GS, with a combined value of over $400,000, were seized by Durham Regional Police in Scarborough, following the illegal towing of another car from an accident scene.

At that time, the wound that was the Pickering air- port was still very much open. There wasn't a politi- cian in Durham Region who would come out in support of building the air- port. In this area, it was the third rail. There's probably a large swath of the community still opposed to an airport. But, support for the air- port has increased to the point that councils, includ- ing Pickering's, have come out in support of building the facility. What happened? Why has the ground shifted so much that it's possible the airport could be approved in the not-to-distant fu- ture. Perhaps the passage of time. The lands were ex- propriated almost 50 years ago and many of the people who banded together to form People Over Planes are old, have died or moved away. That doesn't mean there isn't opposite to an airport. Land Over Landings (LOL) is a vital force in fighting to preserve the airport lands for agricultural purposes. It, however, could be facing an uphill battle. In the run-up to the fed- eral election, Durham Re- gion put out a paper listing eight priorities it wants the next government to ad- dress. No. 1 one was "Com- mit to the advancement of an airport and related in- dustrial development on the federal lands in Picker- ing, enabling the vision of a Toronto East Aerotropo- lis." Last April, Durham council again confirmed its support, in principle, for an airport. "Airports are valuable economic drivers in the de- velopment of business, tourism, communities, and the surrounding infra- structure," John Henry, Regional chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement. "With the federal lands in Pickering, we could offer a model of environmentally sustain- able airport operations - a contemporary vision of an aerotropolis with a focus on innovation, investment and employment." Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said, "A majority of Pickering council support- ed the airport. The City of Pickering, by resolution, supported an airport." Why? "The community has changed. There's a demand for jobs. Everyone heard it at the door. I heard it at the door," he said. For instance, Durham Live held a job fair on Tues- day, Oct. 15 and Wednes- day, Oct. 16 at the Chestnut Hill Development Recre- ation Complex and Ryan said 4,600 people turned out. The company is hiring 1,500 to staff its casino now being built in Pickering. He pointed to Pearson International Airport as an example of the jobs that could be created. There are 50,000 people working "in- side the fence" at Pearson and another 330,000 "out- side the fence." About 10 per cent of the people employed at Pear- son come from Durham, he added. At the council meeting on Oct. 7, Friends of the Pickering Airport spoke in favour of an airport. Group spokesman Mark Brooks said, "It 100 per cent has to happen. You're talking about a plan that's been in place for 40 years. This has been set aside for this day. This is a piece of land that's been scoped, specifically for the point when the To- ronto region needs anoth- er airport, and now that time has come." Ryan said in an inter- view those against an air- port have "opposed the air- port from Day 1. It's typi- cally expressed in the loss of farm land." The argument "isn't bi- nary. It's not agriculture versus an airport. We can combine them," he stated, adding it's done around the world. As one would assume, LOL doesn't buy those ar- guments. "As pro-airport munici- pal leaders ramp up their aggressive push during the federal election, we say it's time for a reality check on their claims," LOL noted on its website. "The pro- airport side is attempting to sway voters and federal candidates with a massive marketing campaign fund- ed by the public purse and developer dollars to 'sell' the idea of a green 'aerotro- polis'. They want voters to tell candidates that they want an airport, and then choose the candidates who agree. But we say it's time to demand action on cli- mate change, and to tell candidates we will only support those who say NO to an airport." LOL is accusing politi- cians of 'greenwashing.' "Now they're claiming it will be a 'green' airport, ar- guing it will be sustain- able, that it will be the per- fect neighbour to the new Rouge National Urban Park, that it doesn't matter that it will cover thou- sands of acres of the best farmland in Canada. It will have greenhouses and in- door vertical farms, they proclaim, so don't worry about paving all that Class 1 soil." The next federal gov- ernment will have to make a decision on whether to build the airport or not. The Justin Trudeau government commis- sioned the consulting firm of KPMG to study the avia- tion sector for the entire Greater Toronto and Ham- ilton Area, and that study is expected to be completed and made public by the end of the year. If an airport is ap- proved, it will be about 10 years before an airport is built. WHY IS THE PICKERING AIRPORT SO POPULAR? KEITH GILLIGAN kgilligan@durham region.com NEWS THE QUESTION: WHY HAVE POLITICIANS, INCLUDING THOSE IN PICKERING, EMBRACED A POSSIBLE AIRPORT IN THE COMMUNITY? THE CONCLUSION: PERHAPS TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND PEOPLE SEE THE BENEFIT IN ECONOMIC TERMS. THERE STILL REMAINS, HOWEVER, A LARGE AND VOCAL OPPOSITION TO THE IDEA OF AN AIRPORT IN NORTH PICKERING. STORY BEHIND THE STORY In April of this year, Durham Region council approved it's support, in principle, for a Pickering airport. In fact, the Region's official plan encourages the development of an airport. Pickering council has also come in favour. What happened? When did a Pickering airport get so popular? We sniffed around to find out. The demand for local jobs may be the reason support for a Pickering airport has increased. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, left, said there are 50,000 jobs 'inside the fence' at Pearson International Airport and another 330,000 'outside the fence.'

That's the question the Durham Region Non-Prof- it Housing Corporation is hoping to answer with a pilot project that saw a ret- rofitted shipping contain- er installed on the organi- zation's property on Al- bert Street in downtown Oshawa. "We wanted to pilot a shipping container and see how we could turn it into a self-contained-liv- ing apartment basically and with our partners - and our board support as well - we were able come up with this," Tracy Greig, chief operating officer for the organization, said dur- ing a tour of what she dubs a micro home. The home includes a kitchen with a full-size stove and fridge, a sitting nook and a bedroom area with a wide twin bed that doubles as a couch. It also has a large bathroom fea- turing an accessible roll- in shower and washer/ dryer combo. Large slid- ing doors lead out to a pa- tio and the main door and ramp leading up to the unit also showcase acces- sibility options. "No one will be living here, this is a pilot, it's meant to engage our part- ners and the community to come in and take a look and see what they think, can they live here with our goal being we want to get a community established as soon as possible," said Greig. "It would be really nice to pilot a 10-unit com- munity right away, we're just trying to get every- body on board with that." She added that, ideally, the region's first micro home community would be located in Oshawa. The cost for the unit is $80,000 which is cheaper than the building costs for a traditional one-bedroom unit which can be up to $200,000. And Greig said she's hoping that the costs will come down for ship- ping container homes. "In traditional new builds - we're currently just finishing one in Can- nington - those one-bed- room apartments are 525 square feet, this is 320 square feet so it is smaller but I think what we tried to do is make it feel open and spacious yet still have all the amenities that would be required to look at this as a permanent home." Members of the public will be able to tour the mi- cro home and Greig said her organization will also reach out to building and planning officials in Dur- ham. "This is new at least for our building officials in our region and they need to touch and feel this as well and they need to find a way where we can actu- ally have communities such as this pop up throughout our region," said Greig. "The waiting lists are substantial ... the (Durham social housing) waiting list is greater than 7,000 right now and just on our own wait-list for af- fordable market rent we're greater than 1,800." In addition to small- apartment solutions like a collapsible dining table, the unit also features a heat recovery system and photovoltaic cells on the roof to generate electrici- ty. "That's why we did put the photovoltaics on the top, because we want to get as close to net zero as possible, we don't want our residents who will end up living with us to pay lots of money for their util- ities, that's not what we're all about," said Greig. The pilot project will remain on Albert Street until at least early sum- mer and that will give the non-profit housing corpo- ration a chance to see how things look during differ- ent seasons and weather conditions. A group of front line workers for the John How- ard Society who regularly work with Oshawa's homeless population were among the first to get a tour of the micro home. Speaking for them- selves and not the society, Ryan Pappas and Kath- leen Taylor said they were impressed. "We just did a quick walk around, we were shown around and it's ab- solutely fantastic, it could be the solution to our ever- growing homelessness problem in Oshawa and Durham and Toronto and it's so affordable, it's do- able," said Pappas, adding that if a shipping contain- er community was created with appropriate sup- ports, it could be very suc- cessful. Taylor spent three and a half years living on the streets in the past and was excited about the project. "They covered every- thing, there's nothing they didn't think of," she said after touring the contain- er home. "I'm really glad they've thought of some- thing because this is the solution, I really hope they move forward with this." ARE SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES THE ANSWER TO HOMELESSNESS IN DURHAM? Durham Region Non-Profit Housing's Tracy Greig stood in the constructed container home on Oct. 31 on the organization's property as a pilot project to demonstrate container housing.

Of particular note will be the six-laning of the throughway from the York-Durham Line at theYork-Durham Line at theY Pickering border all the way to Simcoe Street in Oshawa. The work will be done in stages with the first stretch going east tofirst stretch going east tof Brock Road, then to Brock Street in Whitby and final- ly to Simcoe Street. The extra lane each way will be an HOV/Transit lane. There will also be right-turn lanes, extra sig- nalization and at five dif- ferent intersections inferent intersections inf Pickering and two more in Ajax.Ajax.A As he stands on the is- land in the middle of Thickson and Taunton roads in Whitby, Tito Ma- rimpietri can hardly be- lieve his eyes. Marimpietri, 70, a long- time Oshawa resident who worked in Durham Re- gion's roads department for 42 years, can remem-for 42 years, can remem-f ber when those roads were just two lanes each, not the multi-lane "mind- boggling" throughways they are today. "You could count the stoplights from Townline Road in Oshawa to the Ajax depot on two hands.Ajax depot on two hands.A Some of the roads weren't even paved, they were just dirt or gravel," he recalls of those days more than 45 years ago. And now ... Taunton Road is about to see many more changes on the horizon. Eventual- ly the road will be six- laned from the York-Dur- ham boundary in Picker- ing to Simcoe Street in Oshawa, the two added lanes dedicated as HOV/ Transit lanes. It will have many more right-turn lanes, red-light cameras, and, in Claring- ton, a number of intersec- tions will be made into roundabouts. But as Ramesh Jagan- nathan, director of trans- portation and field service for Durham Region, notes,for Durham Region, notes,f "all improvements, while planned for, are subject to development trends and annual council approv- als." So, we will see precise- ly what will happen in time. Looking back over the decades, Marimpietri can recall when Taunton was widened to four lanes. "At the Oshawa Creek, there was a two-lane nar- row bridge; in September of 1973, they blasted that bridge to make a multi- lane bridge that we see to- day," he said. "Taunton Road was widened - probably first in the early '80s, there were widening and turning lanes, but shortly after they went to multi-lanes, turning lanes and more stoplights," Marimpietri said. And, as the improve- ments, widenings and al- terations continue, com- bined with growth in the northern ends of munici- palities like Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Cla- rington, Marimpietri can foresee a time when in-foresee a time when in-f stead of being the north- ern urban boundary of Durham's southern mu- nicipalities, Taunton Road is at the centre of those towns and cities. "Winchester Road (Highway 7) will probably become the new Taunton Road in the future," he said. "Who could have imag- ined 45 or even 30 years ago, you would have a new 25-storey condo tower be- ing built at the corner of Winchester Road and Sim- coe Street (in Oshawa)?" Marimpietri, who came to Oshawa in 1968 from Ita- ly as a fresh-faced 19-year- old, is just amazed at the changes he's seen in just a few decades.few decades.f "You can think about the future but at times it's mind-boggling the way it's happened so quick. One of the major changes I see is the university (now Onta- rio Tech University). We now have a university that we thought was in the middle of nowhere but there will be up to 30,000 people living around it," he said of developments to come in Oshawa and Whit- by. EXPECT A 6-LANE TAUNTON ROAD WITHIN THE NEXT DECADE Tito Marimpietri, 70, was a roads supervisor for many of the 42 years he worked for the Region of Durham. He recalls Taunton Road as being just two lanes decades ago.

MKT-11965-C-AD1 The First World War Canada’s role in the War Photos and information courtesy of Veterans A airs Canada, www.veterans.gc.ca The armistice of November 11, 1918, brought relief to the world. Never before had there been such a con ict. For a nation of eight million peo- ple Canada’s war e ort was remarkable. More than 650,000 men and women from Canada and Newfoundland served — over 66,000 gave their lives and more than 172,000 were wounded. It was this immense sacri ce that lead to Canada’s separate signature on the Peace Treaty. No lon- ger viewed as just a colony of England, Canada had truly achieved nation status. This nationhood was purchased by the gallant men who stood fast at Ypres, stormed Regina Trench, climbed the heights of Vimy Ridge, captured Passchendaele, and entered Mons on November 11, 1918.

Create a contemporary and cozy space for lounging that is chic yet livable. Sharon Grech, Benjamin Moore colour and design ex- pert, shares three ways to create the ultimate space. Create rhythm. Living r ooms are often open to oth- er areas of the home, which can make it challenging to s elect a colour palette that will work with adjacent r ooms. Using different shades of the same colour is an effective way to define the area. “Deeper colours can bring coziness, which is ide- al for the living room. Choose a stronger colour for living rooms paired with a n eutral, or paler version for c onnecting spaces. A deep grey like Kendall Charcoal HC-166 pairs well with a lighter shade like Met- r opolitan AF-690.” Think beyond the walls. Consider painting furniture, window trims or ceilings in a bolder colour if your walls are neutral. Opting for neutral hues throughout the space with bolder or deeper hues to emphasize millwork, ceil- ings and window framing will create a feeling of har- mony throughout your h ome. “Be sure to use appropri- ate premium quality prod- u cts when painting these surfaces,” says Grech. For example, premium paints like Benjamin Moore Regal Select would be ideal for painting ceilings. Luxe layers. Nothing says cozy quite like a plush sofa with oversized pillows and throws. P lay around with differ- ent textures to establish a chic and comforting look a nd feel. Layering luxe fabrics that a re rich in texture, like velvet a nd faux fur, adds an instant dose of sophistication to your space. — News Canada 3 ways to create a chic and cozy living room 23 | Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , N o v e m b e r 7 , 2 0 1 9 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Call Matt Directly at 905-440-0505 To Discuss a Sale (no obligation to list) Or Claim a FREE Special Report That details the inner workings of my Exclusive Guaranteed Sale Program at: www.MattsGuaranteedSale.com Or for a FREE Recorded Message 1-833-606-9487 ID#: 4800 *Seller and Matt must agree Price and Terms OPEN HOUSE EVERDAY CALL FOR TIMES • 905-440-0505 Matt Cooper Broker Kendell Attrux Sales Representative 150ft Country Lot, 3 Bed/3Bath, 2,000sq.ft.

This result repre- sents a 21 per cent increase year-over-year in Durham. The average selling price re- mained consistent increasing by 4 per cent from last year to $613,606 in October 2019. “Durham Region’s housing market remains strong as we see another significant year- over-year sales increase,” said DRAR President Sori- chetti. “Month-over-month residential transactions have been increasing in Durham and it is positive to see the continued momentum during the fall market.” The number of new listings in Durham decreased slightly from the same time last month reaching 1,625 in October 2019. On a month-over-month basis the days on market (DOM) decreased from an average of 25 days last month to 22 days for October 2019. “The average days on mar- ket has decreased from the previous month which is a great sign for Durham. Hous- es on the market are moving fast and residential transac- tions in Durham continue to remain strong. It is typical to see a slight decrease in new listings during the fall market as some sellers may wait until the spring,” stated Sorichetti. The MLS Home Price Index Composite Benchmark was up 3.69 per cent on a year- over-year basis in October 2019. The Benchmark Com- posite home price for Durham Region was $571,500 last month. Durham Region has a variety of affordable housing options and home types mak- ing it a favourable market for buyers. The Benchmark price for a Townhouse in Durham’s Clarington market reached $437,100. “During the federal elec- tion, some parties committed to more flexibility regarding mortgage lending, including the reintroduction of a 30- year amortization period for insured mortgages and flexi- bility of the OSFI mortgage stress test application,” said Tina Sorichetti. “We hope to see these and other housing- related policies brought forth in the new minority parlia- ment." DRAR would like to con- gratulate candidates who ran in Durham Region on their hard-fought campaigns. We look forward to working to- gether with elected officials and continuing the conversa- tion on behalf of REALTORS®, home buyers and sellers. — DRAR Communications Increase of residential transactions heats up the fall market in Durham Region dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , N o v e m b e r 7 , 2 0 1 9 | 24 geranium.com *Limited time offer, see sales representative for details.

If not, talk to your lawyer about powers of attorney for property and personal care. Power of attorney for personal property is a legal document that allows a person or institution you choose to manage your finances when you can’t. Power of attorney for personal care gives someone the right to make medical decisions on your behalf.When you’re incapacitated by illness or injury you won’t be able to direct your own medical care. It’s not difficult to set up powers of attorney.Your lawyer can prepare the necessary documents. Before you take that step, think about the instructions to be included and to whom powers of attorney will be assigned. For finances, make sure the person you appoint has the capability, time and desire to manage your financial affairs. For personal care, consider a spouse or other close family member.This should be someone who knows you and your wishes well.

According to police, the charges relate to a compa- ny called Complete Com- fort Heating and Air Condi- tioning run by an Ajax man. Officers say in June a customer paid for services and the work was never done. In July a second vic- tim contacted police after they paid for a new air-con- ditioning unit that was nev- er installed. Kenneth Pingle, 43, is charged with two counts of fraud under $5,000 and he was released on a promise to appear. Police advise consumers not to pay contractors the full amount until the job is done and to make sure they get an invoice, receipt or quote for the work done. They also advise people to get at least a second quote, to research compa- nies online and to make sure contractors have the appropriate licences.

The company is Havlar and the product is the Hav- larGo-Safe; a portable, compact, lightweight, dam- age-resistant safe that can be tethered with a 42-inch cable to keep valuables safe. Moreover, the product comes with a specialized scan-proof liner to safe- guard against identity theft from credit cards or gov- ernment ID. "We wanted (the Havlar- Go-Safe) to be a hybrid of a safe," said Durham resi- dent Daryl Gibson, who formed Havlar two years ago as a side project with his father Tom, mother Marianne and brother Kyle. "I think when people think safe they think of a metal box bolted to the floor, which is where people used to and still store their valuables. When you're travelling what's valuable is your passport, your cell- phone. We wanted to design a visually appealing light- weight safe that's designed to travel with you." For the elder Gibson, he's happy to return to the business world after being semi-retired from a long ca- reer in management and business consulting. To be- come more fully versed in entrepreneurship, Tom en- rolled in the "seniorpre- neur" pilot project at the Community Innovation Labs in Oshawa. "I've still got some youth- ful energy and ambition to stay involved and I wanted to pursue something entre- preneurial. I wanted to see what I could do to help Da- ryl and Kyle to bring this to market," said Tom, 65. Daryl said the idea for a portable safe came to him while on a family beach va- cation in 2016. Being at the beach and wanting to swim in the ocean, but not having a safe place to leave behind cellphones, wallets and room passes provided him with an "a-ha" moment. "Whether you're playing hockey or going swimming, all these times we separate from our digital devices, if they're not backed up or someone takes them - it's your whole life you carry around on your cellphone," said Daryl, adding as cell- phones reach a price point beyond $1,000, it's an invest- ment well worth protecting from thieves. The HavlarGo-Safe also features interchangeable trays, including a "420 edi- tion" which keeps cannabis and accoutrements safe and organized. Another tray can store high-priced cigars with a built-in humi- dor to keep them fresh and secure. The last two years have been a whirlwind of activity for the Gibsons, including vetting the product through a lawyer, having a prototype made and pursu- ing patent and trademark protection, to get the prod- uct off the ground. The current plan is to launch a crowd-funding campaign through Indiego- go to raise awareness and capital. Through crowd funding, backers can pur- chase a HavlarGo-Safe at wholesale prices, explained Daryl. "We will list it on crowd funding for $50 to $60 and then the people who buy it would be purchasing it with the understanding that they wouldn't be getting it for three to four months and we'll use the money to pay for manufacturing and the units. We're building up our backers' list and once we have enough people who've agreed to back our product, then we will launch." The Gibsons hope man- ufacturing of the HavlarGo- Safe begins in China in Jan- uary of 2020, with the price point of around $129 Cana- dian per unit. They will be sold online initially, but eventually hope branch out into more retail avenues.

Baking alongside her mom sparked a lifelong passion. She likes to say that baking is "love made edible." And now, Manning get to share that love with the commu- nity. She is the owner of Durham's first COBS Bread store, which opened at 30 Broadleaf Ave. in Whitby on Oct. 31. The COBS brand has been in Canada for about 16 years, selling a huge array of breads and sweet treats that are baked from scratch in store each day. The Whitby location will carry about 85 different products, rang- ing from cheddar garlic sour- dough and high fibre white bread, to lemon blueberry scones and cinnamon buns with cream cheese icing.At the end of each day, COBS Bread stores donate all their unsold product to charities. Manning has partnered with several local recipients, including Simcoe Hall Settlement House and Kendalwood Church. "A big part of the COBS philos- ophy is being a local, community bakery," she says. "Supporting schools and sports teams and the End of Day Giving Program that supports local organizations. We want to make the community bet- ter, stronger and, of course, tasti- er." Manning has worked in retail for years with companies like Body Shop, Rogers and Pandora- .When an ad for COBS franchi- sees popped up in her Facebook feed, she was intrigued. "It kind of brought everything together, all of the things I love, all my experience," she says. "So, I decided to roll the dice." Products at the COBS Whitby store will all be nut-free. Manning says the store is a good fit for people who want to know exactly what is in their food -there are no preservatives and complete ingredient lists for ev- ery product can be found online. Some of the most popular products at COBS include the sourdough breads, croissants in both sweet and savoury flavours, the Apricot Delight loaf that's more fruit than flour by weight, and the "Pane di Casa" (it means "bread of the home" in Italian), a crusty bread that's soft and chewy inside and pairs well with soups and stews. The Whitby store will also be rolling out special Christmas baked goods in the coming weeks, such as gingerbread scones and mince tarts."People bond over food, that's when we connect," Manning says. "I want to be part of people's table. If my scones are part of your Sunday morning or my buns are part of your Christ- mas dinner...that's really excit- ing." On Nov. 17, the COBS Bread store in Whitby will hold a com- munity day, where 100 per cent of sales will go to Hearth Place Can- cer Support Centre. FOOD AND DRINK DURHAM JUST GOT ITS FIRST COBS BREAD STORE Sheri Manning recently opened Durham's first COBS Bread store in Whitby. The bakery specializes in breads and sweet treats made from scratch. At the end of every day, COBS stores give all their unsold product to local food banks.

She married the late Gerrit Willem who passed May 1, 1976. She is survived by her three children Mariane (Frank), Yvone (Martin) and her favourite son Ed (Wendy). A huge thanks to my incredible wife Wendy for all she has done for our mother. Words alone cannot come close to expressing my gratitude for the support and love you have shown our mom. She is also survived by her twin sister Lies Hoekzema of Holland who, along with our Dutch cousins, will greatly miss her. She died as she had wished: quickly in her home surrounded by her many family photos, numerous self made needlepoints, boxes of fabric from her seamstress days, every button she had ever come across, broken items and electronics that still looked like they should work, so heaven forbid you should throw it out, questionable food items and spices, medieval ancient and uncomfortable furniture, most every piece of clothing and shoes that had ever passed thought her busy hands, dried flower arrangements to old to even guess, hazardous Christmas lights and ornaments, books, puzzles, useless vacuum cleaners, crates, boxes, hotel soaps from her extensive world travels, souvenirs, trinkets, nick nacks, paddy wacks and give the dog a bone. She leaves behind nine grandchildren who will miss her yearly birthday cards. Nichole Shayne, Rueben, Erin, Ryan, Evan, Paul, Maria, Spencer and nine great-great-grandchildren. She will leave a void in the loving hearts of all who knew her but especially her closest neighbours who for many years brought her friendship, companionship, love, food, rides to the store or hospital, shovelled snow, cleaned her yard and other wonderful acts of kindness of which there are too many to mention here. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts and it reinforces what a wonderful world this can be when our hearts lead the way. A formal service will not be held as per my mother’s wishes. You may however say a little prayer for her and rest in comfort knowing she now rests in peace and is probably catching up on all the news with our father and all the friends she outlived in her glorious life time. Donations may be made, in memory of Alie ter Horst, to the Lakeridge Health, 580 Harwod Ave S. Ajax, Ontario, L1S 2J4.
