The high-density proposalwould build 860 residential unitsin multiple buildings — includinga34-storey tower, a 31-storey tow- er, a connecting six-storey struc-ture with commercial space onthe ground floor, a 12-storey mid- rise building and 25 townhouses. "It's too much, too big, too over-powering," said Alastair Taylor,chair of the Team United 1970 res-idents' group. "We're not saying we're against this area being de-veloped. We're against this partic-ular proposal." The group has four main con- cerns: 1. Height and density •The 34 and 31-storey towerbuildings will shadow the exist-ing neighbours and infringe ontheir privacy. The towers could create a wind tunnel effect."It's just ridiculous to consider.There are no buildings in Picker-ing that are even remotely this size," said Taylor. 2. Traffic Team United 1970 is a group of Pickering residents including, from left, Alastair Taylor, John Roberts and Oscar Packeer, who have concerns about the proposed high-density development plan at 1970 Brock Rd. (corner of Brock and Kingston roads). The residents worry about the size and density of two proposed towers (34 and 31 storeys in height), a 12-storey mid-rise residential building and a three-storey townhouse structure.

The pro-cess, which is expected to take about eight months, involves consulting withlocal municipalities whohave expressed interest inserving as host as well as the public.An expert panel ap-pointed by the LakeridgeHealth Board of Trusteeswill use the public feed-back to make a site recom-mendation to the board. The members of the panelare independent and arenot residents of Durham.Within Durham, munic- ipal leaders from Picker-ing, Whitby and Oshawa have all expressed interest in serving as the host com-munity for the new hospi-tal. Durham residents andbusinesses can now com-plete an online survey onthe topic until Aug. 6 by vis- iting www.surveymon-key.com/r/KL8NF9F. "As the expert panel continues its importantwork of selecting a site for aproposed future hospital,it's so important that our community has an oppor-tunity to provide input,"said Cynthia Davis, presi- dent and CEO of LakeridgeHealth. "We understandhow important a new hos-pital will be to everyone in Durham Region and we areexcited to provide ways toinvolve the communityfrom the very beginning."Over the next 25 years,Lakeridge is expected toadd 1,000 beds to meet the needs of a growing popula-tion by expanding the Bow-manville Hospital and con-structing a new one. Cur- rently, Lakeridge hasroughly 820 beds.

The Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC) is a waste management facility that safely produces energy from the combustion of garbage. The DYEC generates enough electricity to power approximately 10,000 homes a year, captures residual metals from the garbage and reduces the volume of garbage going to landfill by up to 90 per cent. Located in Courtice, Ontario, the DYEC is jointly owned and processes 140,000 tonnes of residential garbage per year. Durham Region owns 78.6 per cent or 110,000 tonnes of processing capacity and York Region owns 21.4 per cent or 30,000 tonnes of capacity. It’s important to know the facts about the Durham York Energy Centre. Common misconceptions Misconception #1:Toronto’s garbage is burned at the DYEC. Fact:The DYEC is only permitted to accept garbage collected from Durham Region and York Region curbside and multi-residential programs, as well as Durham Region’s waste management facilities. This is a requirement set out in the facility Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) issued by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Garbage from other municipalities, sectors or private haulers is not permitted to be accepted and processed at DYEC. Misconception #2:Durham Region is not being truthful with residents about DYEC emissions—no accountability. Fact:The DYEC is a provincially regulated facility that must meet legislated requirements for waste management and the air/water emissions. The DYEC must also meet additional requirements that are specified in the ECA. The facility has a compliance monitoring plan and publishes the results of a third-party compliance audit annually. The results of all air emissions testing are also published on the DYEC website (DurhamYorkWaste.ca) and provided to the MECP for review. No emissions report from the DYEC has ever been falsified. All emissions data undergoes multiple reviews by Durham Region and York Region staff, third-party consultants and the MECP, who are considered Ontario experts in the field of air emissions. Misconception #3:The DYEC is already exceeding safe air quality emissions. Fact:The DYEC operates under stringent air emissions requirements utilizing globally recognized Air Pollution Control technologies, including several parameters with stricter limits than set out by the province’s standards for thermal treatment technologies (Ontario Guideline A-7). The emissions generated in the energy-from-waste process are sampled in keeping with best available technologies. Monitoring emissions ensures that the DYEC continues to comply with stringent environmental monitoring and mitigation plans, standards and guidelines set out by the facility’s ECA. Two emissions (source/stack) tests are conducted annually to verify the facility is operating below the air emission limits established in the ECA. Results of all emissions testing are publicly posted at DurhamYorkWaste.ca. Misconception #4:The Ministry of Environment’s (MECP) demand for more testing of the incinerator has proven that it is poisoning our air shed with dioxins and furans. Fact:There have been no changes to the ECA demanded or issued by the MECP. The DYEC continues to operate in accordance with the environmental monitoring conditions that were outlined in the facility’s ECA, permitted by the MECP. The environmental monitoring programs have been in place since the facility start up. The environmental monitoring conditions currently in place are protective of human health and the environment. We take the operations of our facilities seriously. After all, we live here too. We would like to encourage all residents to learn more about the DYEC at DurhamYorkWaste.ca. Still have questions? Reach out to our technical team at info@durhamyorkwaste.ca. We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Y OMMUNITC Lakeridge HealthWants to Hear fromYou Lakeridge Health is moving forward with an independent Site Selection process to identify and protect a site for a proposed new hospital in Durham Region. The list of SummerOlympic sports and eventsis constantly evolving, withdozens of changes made since the first internationalOlympic Games in 1896.Over the years, the list of cancelled games hascome to include a numberof well-known sports suchas croquet, cricket, polo and lacrosse, as well asbaseball and softball,which are making a come- back this year.However, there were al-so numerous sports and events that are no longerpart of the games that werepeculiar, to say the least. Here are five strangesporting events you maynot have known were once part of the Olympics. TUG OF WARTug of war was once an Olympic event that ap-peared at five games from1900 until 1920 — just like you may have played in ele-mentary school.The teams each consist- ed of eight athletes that hadto pull the other over a linewith six feet of distance on either side.This was a timed event offive minutes, and if no team succeeded to pull the otherover the line, a winningteam was declared based onwho performed the best. CLUB SWINGINGClub swinging took placetwice during the Olympic Games, in 1904 and 1932. Inthis competition, each con-testant would perform aroutine by swinging clubs that looked like bowlingpins for five minutes.They would each re- ceive a score out of 15. RUNNING DEERRunning Deer was a for- mer shooting event at theOlympics that saw compet-itors shoot at a deer-shaped target which would move,or "run," a distance of 75feet. There were two types of running deer events: sin-gle shot and double shot. Each competitor wasgiven a score out of 80 points. DUELING PISTOLSThe Intercalated Olym- pic Games, which is notcurrently viewed as officialOlympic Games by the In-ternational Olympic Com- mittee, held a pistol duel-ing competition in 1906. This bizarre event saw competitors shoot wax bul-lets at human-shaped tar-gets dressed in long coats from a 20- or 30-metre dis-tance. FENCING WITH STICKS Singlestick was anOlympic event that tookplace in 1904 and was a one- time event, with only threecompetitors participating.The typical fencing rulesstill applied to this event, but the difference was theweapon: a rounded woodenstick of approximately 34 inches in length. The single-stick was initially a practicesword in the 16th centurybefore becoming known as a weapon on its own.This article was in-formed by Olympedia, To- pend Sports, Olympic.caand Encyclopedia Britan-nica. 5 SPORTS, EVENTS THAT USED TO BE PART OF SUMMER OLYMPICS VERONICA APPIA vappia@toronto.com A tug of war competition at the 1900 Olympic Games.

On Saturday, July 24,Kayla Sanchez helped Can-ada win its first medal of the Tokyo Olympic Games,a silver in the women'sfour-by-100-metre relayrace. Sanchez, a member of the Ajax Aquatic Club,swam the opening leg inthe race.Canada finished in sec-ond behind the power-house Australian team, while the United States wasthird. This is the first Olym-pics for Sanchez, 20. Othermembers of the team were Margaret Mac Neil, Rebec-ca Smith and Penny Olek-siak.In the early hours of Monday, July 26, JessicaKlimkait of Whitby won abronze medal in the wom-en's under 57 kg division injudo. She beat Kaja Kajzerof Slovenia to claim the medal.The world title holder inher weight class, Klimkait,a member of the Ajax Bu- dokan Judo Club, was de-feated by Sarah Léonie Cy-sique of France in the semi- finals. Neither judokascored a point in the match,but Klimkait was ruled tohave launched three false attacks, giving Cysique thevictory.It's the first medal for a Canadian woman in judo.Canada has won five med-als in the past, the first byDoug Rogers with a silver at the 1964 Tokyo gamesand the most recent abronze by Antoine Valois-Fortier in London in 2012. Also on July 26, the Ca-nadian women's basketball team opened up round-rob-in play with a 72-68 loss toSerbia. Shaina Pellingtonof Pickering played 13:15 minutes and netted twopoints.The Canadians were to play South Korea on July29.The Canadian women'sartistic gymnastics squad took part in the team com-petition on Sunday, July 25,where they finished in 10th place and didn't move on.Ava Stewart, 15, of Bow-manville, was one of thefour team members. The Canadian women'ssoccer team knocked offChile 2-1 last Saturday, asNichelle Prince of Ajax helped to set up one of theCanadian goals. Kailen Sheridan of Whitby playedthe entire game in goal,while Jayde Riviere of Pick- ering also played 90 min-utes as a defender.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY Here's some fabulous news for our ailing planet,the best I've heard in a long time. It's tough to stay posi- tive, seeing how our over-populated species is wreck- ing the place, causing mas- sive extinction as wespread out and pave over and throw global weather out of whack with our CO2 emissions. But one piece ofgood news: a possible end to the destructive practice of slash-and-burn agricul- ture. More than 300 million farmers throughout the tropics feed their familiesevery year by moving into local forests, toppling and burning trees, then plant- ing crops between the smoking stumps. Can't blame them; it's how farm- land here in Durham re-gion was cleared. But the poor, acidic soils of tropical rainforests usually run out of nutrients in a single sea-son, so the farmers have to move on, repeating the back-breaking labour andcarving ever deeper into the precious woodlands we have left. Not as destruc- tive as logging companies,maybe, yet responsible for 73 per cent of developing countries' carbon emis-sions. But after 20 years exper- imenting, in Costa Rica and Honduras, Dr. MichaelHands of Cambridge Uni- versity and colleagues have come up with a bril- liant alternative: "Inga al- ley cropping." Turns out that one vig- orous family of tropicaltree, the Ingas, "fix" nitro- gen into the soil as all le- gume plants do, a neces- sary component of life. In- gas grow 20 feet in a single year and, planted in rows, can hold hillsides in place, shade and protect tendersprouts, and provide vital nourishment to crops grown nearby, eliminating the need for expensive fer-tilizers. Pruned to chest height after a year or two, the Ingas provide familieswith all the firewood they need, and the soils with nu- trition and moisture from a mulch of compostingleaves — simple, low-cost, organic. Promoted by the non-profit Inga Foundation, this revolutionary form of agroforestry is starting to catch on throughout theAmericas, as well as Sara- wak, Uganda, Laos and Madagascar. Getting peo- ple to change their way of life is a challenge, but when farmers see the wealth of results from Ingaalley cropping they're ea- ger to try it. And what benefit all around. Food security and sustainability for the farm- ers, who often add cash crops such as spices totheir food production. Pro- tection and restoration of precious rainforests, so crucial for biodiversityand carbon sequestering. Experts figure that by the end of 2021 almost half a bil-lion tons of carbon dioxide will have been kept out of Earth's atmosphere by this sensible new farmingmethod.

INGAS A WIN-WIN FOR TROPICAL FARMERS, THE PLANET STRANGER BROUGHT FOUND MONEY, ID TO POLICE To the editor: On June 15, my brother,who was visiting from B.C.,and I were enjoying lunch at the Burger King on Vic-toria Street in Whitby. Weate off the back of my truck. The next day brother discovered his pack ofcredit cards, licence,health card and money were missing. Response to our inqui-ries could not have beenmore thorough at the res- taurant, but no, there wasno wallet turned in. On ourway home we thought to check in with Durham po-lice. We were told mybrother's pack of cards andidentification were brought in to the station bya citizen who found it in theparking lot.I cannot express ourgratitude to that personand the lengths the policeinvested in connecting my brother with his property. The decency of people is of-ten not celebrated enough and we were told selflessacts like this are not un-common. Nothing was missing ex-cept the name of the personwho went above and be-yond for a perfect stranger. You know who you are. Wecannot thank you enough.STEPHEN BOURQUE,OTTER CREEK, ONT. HOW DO YOU GET A SNAPPING TURTLE OFF THE ROAD? To the editor:Re: "Turtles need ourhelp: Whitby columnist." When I used to visitPrince Edward County, thelocals would keep shovelsin their trunks, which theyused to carry turtles overto the side of the road.

"This is creating huge traf-fic issues."3. HeritageThe Post Manor is a 1841stone farmhouse designat-ed under the Ontario Heri-tage Act. The plan propos- es to move it to the north-erly portion of the sitefronting Brock Road. Resi-dents are worried the house and large treesaround it could be dam- aged during construction. "Post Manor was savedfrom the wrecking ball inthe mid-1980s and is more than just a structure ofstone. It is part of Picker-ing's history and is part of astory from our past. The structure and its maturetrees need to remain with-out disturbance," Council- lor Maurice Brenner saidvia email. 4. Current business• Businesses at the cor- ner now would be disrupt-ed by the proposal. • The neighbourhoodwould lose these local ser- vices and retail jobs duringconstruction.In a planning rationale report, the developer,Brock and Kingston Hold-ings Inc., touches on someof the group's concerns. 1. Height• The proposal would be appropriate infill, intensi- fication at the busy Picker-ing intersection. • It would offer a mix and range of housing op-tions by providing dwellingunits in low-rise, mid-rise,and high-rise buildings. 2. Traffic• Vehicle access to thedevelopment is proposed via two right-in/right-outdriveways from BrockRoad and Kingston Road. • The site is well-served by public transit, with fur-ther improvementsplanned. 3. Heritage • The proposal will pro-tect the designated cultur-al heritage building. The Post Manor would be relo-cated northeastward, withits basement reconstruct-ed to conserve its heritage attributes. • The rehabilitated building will be used for commercial purposes overthe long term, such as a res-taurant, café or personal service use."The Post Manor iswidely recognized as one ofPickering's premier heri- tage assets." Tom Mohr,from the Ontario Archaeo- logical Society - Peterbor- ough, said in a letter tocouncil. 4. New business space • The plan includes 1,430square metres of commer-cial floor space, providingfor a mix of uses on the site. "The current strip mallat this corner does not do justice to the significance of this gateway and willbenefit from redevelop-ment. I support that this is an opportunity to design afocal point that reflectsPickering's character,"Coun. Brenner added. The developer will needplanning and zoningamendments for the pro- posal. The issue will cometo a future meeting of Pick-ering Council."This is a prominent corner in the city and I be-lieve the developmentshould be a signature pro- ject — appropriate andunique — but the presentplan is probably too ambi-tious. I hope the applicant brings back an improvedplan that addresses con-cerns of residents," region-al councillor David Pickles said via email.

Abustling marketplace thatwas in business for nearly five decades in Pickering is official-ly relocating to Oshawa.Formerly The PickeringMarkets, The Oshawa Markets will open at 555 Simcoe St. S. inOshawa on Oct. 1."The location is amazing," said general manager ErikTamm. "We couldn't haveasked for a better location.We've got a great landlord that's working with us. Everything isfinally coming together."The market will featuremore than 300 vendors andmore than 25 food vendors andhas plans to offer more features—such as a possible farmers' market — in the future.The announcement comesseven months after The Picker-ing Markets announced it was closing its doors after 47 yearsin Pickering."We wish them a great deal of success," said Mark Guinto,the City of Pickering's managerof business development andpublic affairs. "We tried to come up with some solutionsfor them to stay here, but theymade a business decision and we wish them a lot of success."It wasn't hard to chooseOshawa, Tamm said. In Picker-ing, the market was paying $1,000 per operating day in li-censing fees before it got abreak in 2020. "There is no fee here,"Tamm said. He said paying the fee inPickering "was absolutely ri- diculous."Pickering did reduce that feeto $100 per operating day whenTamm asked for relief during the COVID-19 pandemic.Since taxes are paid by land-lords and not tenants, the city will not lose out on propertytaxes, but it will miss out on thelicensing fees. The Oshawa Markets, like its predecessor, aims to givesmall businesses a home andhelp entrepreneurs start out with minimal costs."I think probably about 30per cent of our old vendors all had a second location or endedup opening a storefront some- where," Tamm said. "We like tocall ourselves an incubator forsmall business and it truly does lead to that because we find somany business that start withus end up growing to some-thing so much bigger." Stephanie Sinnott, Osha-wa's commissioner of financeservices, calls the move an "economic development oppor-tunity for the area and the restof the mall that's been sittingthere vacant for quite some time, and there's beenquestionable plans for its fu-ture, so I think the market itselfwill serve as an anchor tenant and attract additional businessfor the area."Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter called it welcome news. "Any time we can welcomeespecially small business andfamily-run business into the community, we're excitedabout it," he said.He noted plans for a new GO station at the former Knob HillFarms land on First Avenue incentral Oshawa are awaitingtreasury approval, and there are many others interested ininvesting in the area."I think this is the first step in many steps in regards to therevitalization of the area,"Carter said.While Pickering appreci- ates the past 47 years of thePickering Markets' contribu-tion to Pickering, it's lookingahead."One door closes, anotheropportunity opens," Guintosaid. "It was great for small business and entrepreneurs. Itwas a draw for a lot of people inthe Toronto and east part of theGTA, but the Pickering Casino will be opening soon, so we'renot going to be lacking for out-of-town visitors." The Pickering Casino offi-cially opened on Monday, July26.Beginning in October, The Oshawa Markets will be openon Saturdays and Sundaysfrom 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Those wishing to become atenant can email erik@picke-ringmarkets.com.

Dining Entertainment Recreation Shopping Advertising Feature A staycation, also called a holistay, is a vacation where a person or family stays home and enjoys leisure ac- tivities within a close dis- tance to their home. The benefits of a stayca- tion mean there are no infi- nite bags to pack, no long drives with possible traffic to worry about, and the oppor- tunity to explore something fun-filled and interesting close to your own backyard. The dining, entertain- ment, recreation and shop- ping activities in Durham re- gion, the GTA and Northum- berland county are innumer- able. Supporting local is more than just an attitude, it’s an encouragement that great things to do, see and eat can be easily accessed if you know where to look. Grown in popularity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, staycations don’t have to be secondary to full-blown va- cations. The ease of having great activities close to home means you can appreciate the area you live in that much more. Check out the ads in this section to steer you to your next staycations desti- nation!

The Theriaultscaught Miller and otheryouths stealing items fromvehicles in the driveway of the family home and gavechase, eventually becom-ing embroiled in a brawlwith Miller, court heard during the trial.Durham police became involved and originally charged Miller with offenc-es including theft, whichwere later dropped. The Theriaults were eventuallycharged after an investiga-tion by the Special Investi-gations Unit, which was in- formed of the incident by alawyer retained by Miller'sfamily. During the trial, Millertestified he was in retreatand at the front door of aresidence, calling out for help, when Michael The-riault smashed him in theface with a metal pole, causing the injury that ledto the loss of his eye.Di Luca's ruling leftboth sides unhappy, and spawned appeals by boththe Crown and the defence.During arguments be-fore the appeal court law- yers for Michael Theriaultcalled upon the AppealCourt to reverse Michael Theriault's conviction andacquit him or, failing that,to order a new trial. Theyalso called for a review of the nine-month jail sen-tence given to Theriault. The Crown argued DiLuca had erred in findingthe two men not guilty of the more serious aggravat-ed assault charge. Duringarguments in May, theCrown submitted that even if its appeal is successful, anew trial should be heldonly if the court found Mi- chael Theriault's assaultconviction should be over-turned.That submission was re- flected in the appeals courtruling. Michael Theriault wasordered freed on bail pend-ing his appeal following Di Luca's sentencing ruling.He has been suspendedwith pay since beingcharged.

Nancy Gardner of Brockville and formerly of Pickering. Beloved wife of Richard Harrison. Loving mother and best friend to her daughters Shannon Spano (Robert) and Katie Pounder. Treasured "Nama" of Connor Slade. Cherished sister of Robert Gardner (Jennifer). Dearest daughter of the late Jean Glen and Robert Gardner and darling niece of the extended Glen Family. Loved by Richard's children Amanda (Adam) and Spencer (Tori) and grandchildren Rufus and Evie. Will be forever missed by her cousins, nieces and nephews, her three boys Zack, Tucker and Gulliver, and by a legion of friends that were family to Nancy. Nancy was born and raised in Brockville, a lover of the St Lawrence River and summers at Butternut Bay. Nancy attended the University of Waterloo, where she met life- long friends before moving to Ottawa, Toronto, and later Pickering. She built a successful career as a Real Estate Broker, and was known for her integrity, insight and the personal connection to her clients. Nancy was a founding Board Member of Herizon House (a shelter for abused women and children in Durham Region) and a devoted and celebrated volunteer for patients in palliative care and their families with Hospice Durham and Leeds & Grenville Hospice. In the toughest times when others wouldn't know what to say, you could always count on Nancy to show up, lend her strength and wisdom, make you smile and laugh, and share in your sorrow until your world felt a little lighter. Nancy lived for live music, catchy tunes, animals, road trips, finding antiques and treasures, and any opportunity to meaningfully connect with others. Some of her greatest joys were time spent walking with her dogs at Petticoat Creek and Brown's Bay. Nancy was a great protector; she was passionate about rescuing and rehabilitating animals and opened her home to many throughout her life, so that they could thrive in her love. She loved and was loved. There was no such thing as a casual acquaintance to Nancy. Clients, co-workers, and friends of her daughters became part of her ever- growing circle. Her friends were her family. She was fiercely loyal and deeply rooted in her values, standing up and speaking out if she came across injustice, prejudice and inequality. Nancy also had a quick wit, an incredible and often naughty sense of humour, and a perpetual twinkle in her eye. She was passionate about enthusiastically celebrating the joys and successes of those she loved. Nancy was especially proud of her two daughters and grandson Connor, and was a pillar of strength, joy and silliness in each of their lives. Her light, her spirit, and her legacy live on in each of them. On New Year's Eve 2003, Nancy had her enchanted first date with Richard and began their great love story. Nancy and Richard adventured to Ottawa and settled into a beautiful Victorian home in Brockville that was her favourite on the street that she lived as a child. She was truly proud and loved the home and life they cultivated together. Nancy is now reunited with three of her best friends, Judy, Mary-Ellen and Mary, her parents, her pets, and many special souls that she loved and lost during her incredible life. She loved and was loved and will never be forgotten. A Celebration of Nancy's Life will be held at a later date to allow for her large group of friends and family to be able to gather together. In memory of Nancy and in lieu of flowers, donations to the Herizon House in Ajax are appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to Barclay Funeral Home, 137 Pearl Street East Brockville.
